Summary

Colton-Pierrepont Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the rural town of Colton, New York. With 381 students, it is the only school in the Colton-Pierrepont Central School District.

Colton-Pierrepont Central School stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 84.3% to 100% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

For example, the school's projected 2024-2025 proficiency rates are expected to exceed the state average in English Language Arts for grades 3-8, Math for grades 3-8, and several Regents exams.

Overall, Colton-Pierrepont Central School appears to be a high-performing institution, though the high chronic absenteeism rates may require further attention and intervention.
