Algonquin Middle School is a top performer, consistently ranking in the top half of New York middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in subjects like Math and English Language Arts exceed both district and state averages, indicating a high level of academic achievement. Meanwhile, Averill Park High School has maintained a 3-star rating and shown solid performance on Regents exams, with many subject areas exceeding the district and state proficiency rates. The high school also boasts an impressive 84.3% four-year graduation rate.

While the middle and high schools are excelling, the Miller Hill Elementary School may present an opportunity for improvement, particularly in English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. However, the overall district appears to be well-performing, with consistent rankings and ratings across its schools. The relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients suggests a relatively affluent student population, which may contribute to the strong academic performance, though it's important to ensure that all students have access to quality education.
