The Fayetteville-Manlius School District and each of its six schools received an A+ in Niche’s 2022 Best Schools and Districts Rankings.
Comprised of data scientists, engineers and parents, the Niche organization each year analyzes public data sets and millions of reviews to produce comprehensive rankings, report cards and profiles for every K-12 school, college and neighborhood in the United States.
In the report that Niche released Sept. 20, which ranks more than 100,000 public and private schools and districts across the country, F-M is recognized as among the best school districts in the areas of academics, athletics, college prep, teachers, and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education.
The Niche rankings are based on such data as state test scores, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, health and safety, culture and diversity, teachers, resources and facilities, clubs and activities, sports, and feedback from parent and student surveys. Niche takes into account both the quantity and quality of the survey responses.
County and Syracuse Area rankings are below. More rankings, including the district’s placement state and nationwide, are available on the Niche website.
