Summary

Canastota High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Canastota, New York, with a total enrollment of 556 students. The school is part of the Canastota Central School District, which is ranked 500 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Canastota High School has consistently ranked in the middle range of New York high schools, ranking between 320 and 505 out of around 1,200 high schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, with a brief dip to a 2-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year. Compared to nearby schools, Canastota High School generally performs in the middle range, with some schools like Jamesville-Dewitt High School and Fayetteville-Manlius Senior High School significantly outperforming it, and others like Nottingham High School and Oneida Senior High School performing worse.

One area of concern for Canastota High School is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 29.0% to 34.1% in recent years, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. This high chronic absenteeism rate may be a contributing factor to the school's relatively lower performance on some academic measures, such as Algebra I and Living Environment Regents exams. Additionally, Canastota High School's spending per student, while increasing over the years, is still lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, which may also impact the school's overall performance.
