Cortland Schools, part of the Cortland Central School District (CECSD), is dedicated to providing high levels of learning for every student. With a vision to help students be ready for career, college, and citizenship, Cortland Schools focus on essential social, emotional, and academic learning standards. Their commitment includes holding high expectations for all students and building a shared knowledge and commitment to their mission and vision.

Cortland Schools offer a comprehensive instructional program and prioritize data-driven decision-making. They involve stakeholders, including the community, staff, and students, in the learning process. Creating a positive and safe learning environment is crucial, as is fostering a collaborative culture focused on continuous improvement and learning.

Cortland Schools support collaborative teams with the necessary time, direction, feedback, training, and resources. Their goals extend to the development of students, staff, and board members as a whole person. They aim for K-8 students to reach proficiency in ELA (AIMSwebPLUS benchmark assessment) and math growth.

Every student will graduate after four years of high school, while high school students will be enrolled in 6. 5 credits and achieve at least 6. 5 credits annually.

Cortland Schools also strive to increase the number of students earning Advanced Placement or Concurrent Enrollment credits and reduce chronic absenteeism. They encourage student engagement in extra- or co-curricular activities and provide quick links on their website for easy access to important information. Led by Superintendent Mr.

Robert J. Edwards, Cortland Schools are committed to excellence in education
