While Altamont School has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 23.8% in 2023-2024 to 46.0% in 2023-2024, it still performs better than the nearby schools in this metric.

The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 19.2 in 2023-2024, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 14.7 to 21.3.

These key metrics suggest that Altamont School is effectively serving its students and providing a quality education, despite being part of a lower-ranked district.
