Cazenovia Central School District Celebrates Dual Recognition for Educational Excellence
Dec. 3, 2024
Cazenovia Central School District proudly announces a double dose of good news. Two of its schools have been recognized for outstanding achievements by leading education authorities.
First, Cazenovia Middle School secured a coveted spot among the top 40% of middle schools in New York state, according to US News & World Report 2025 Best Middle Schools rankings. This recognition is based on a rigorous evaluation that focuses on two key areas: state assessment performance and socioeconomic demographics. The middle school displayed its academic excellence in math and reading compared with other middle school students across the state.
"We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for their hard work and dedication," shared Middle School Principal Amy Getman-Herringshaw. "This recognition reflects our commitment to providing a high-quality education that empowers students to grow as lifelong learners. It embodies our district’s mission of 'Discovering Tomorrow Together,' as we continue to inspire and prepare our students for bright, successful futures."
Further Recognition from GreatSchools.org
Adding to the district’s celebratory mood, GreatSchools.org recognized the district in November. Cazenovia High School was named among the esteemed 2024 College Success Award winners. This prestigious award honors public high schools that excel in preparing students for college enrollment and success. Only 1,436 schools nationwide received this year's honor, solidifying Cazenovia Central School District's commitment to a well-rounded, college-preparatory education.
“The students, staff and community should be proud of this recognition,” said High School Principal Molly Hagan. “We constantly strive to offer a wide range of programs and opportunities to students to help prepare them for their post-secondary plans. Our continued focus on student opportunities and student voice supports our mission of empowering students”.
