Wayne Central School District

The Wayne Central School District is a public school district in New York State that serves approximately 2500 students in portions of the towns of Macedon, Ontario, Walworth and Williamson in Wayne County and portions of the towns of Penfield and Webster in Monroe County, with an operating budget of $44 million (≈$17,500 per student). Its schools have been recognized several times by the Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, New York's newspaper) as being in the top 10 of all schools in the Rochester area. The graduation rate is 95% of students receiving a Regents diploma, with 90% of those going on to college.

The Wayne Central School District was formed on April 29, 1949, as the consolidation of 19 rural and 2 union free districts in portions of the towns of Macedon, Ontario, Walworth and Williamson in Wayne County and Penfield and Webster in Monroe County. In 1972, a portion of the district in the southwest became part of the then-new Gananda Central School District.

The student-teacher ratio is 20-23:1(elementary), 21-23:1(middle-high school).^[1]

The District motto is "Commitment to Excellence".

Dr. Mathis Calvin III is the Superintendent of Schools.
