Summary

Fort Plain Junior-Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the rural town of Fort Plain, New York, with 312 students enrolled. While the school's overall statewide ranking places it in the middle of the pack, its performance on specific metrics varies, with some bright spots as well as significant challenges.

Over the past decade, Fort Plain Junior-Senior High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 215 and 518 out of over 1,200 New York high schools, currently ranking 518 for the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's performance on student group metrics is more uneven, with male students outperforming female students and white students and special education students lagging behind. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25-34% in recent years, and slightly lower-than-average graduation rates around 84-88%.

Interestingly, Fort Plain Junior-Senior High School is located in a region with several other public high schools within a 15-20 mile radius, including some high-performing schools like Fonda-Fultonville Senior High School as well as lower-performing schools like Gloversville High School. This diversity of educational opportunities in the area provides useful context for understanding Fort Plain's performance. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55-60% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its academic challenges.
