Stafford’s public schools outscore 70% of New York districts

Reading proficiency in Stafford’s districts is 56%, above the New York average (49%). The grade covers the two public school districts serving Stafford, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within New York, not nationally.
