Summary

Clymer Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Clymer, New York, with a total enrollment of 357 students. The school is part of the Clymer Central School District and has seen a steady increase in its free/reduced lunch rate, from 31.61% in 2021-2022 to 45.1% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Clymer Central School consistently outperforms the state average on a variety of academic measures, including New York State Assessments and Regents exams, particularly in math. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 86.67% of 4th graders proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 58.64%. The school's 4-year graduation rate has also improved from 84.3% in 2022-2023 to 91.6% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average of around 75-80% in recent years.

However, the school faces some concerning challenges, such as a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 19.4% in 2022-2023 to 31.5% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the state average of around 15-20%. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has fluctuated between 2.7% and 8.5% over the past few years, with the most recent rate of 4.5% in 2023-2024 still higher than the state average of around 2-3%. Addressing these attendance and dropout issues should be a priority for the school and district to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
