Nestled at the northern edge of the Finger Lakes Region, the Weedsport Central School District serves as the heart of a community that blends academic excellence, small-town charm, and a high quality of life. With approximately 800 students, our district is consistently ranked among the highest performing in Cayuga and Onondaga Counties. We take pride in strong graduation outcomes, personalized learning, and a school culture that prioritizes student growth, well-being, and success.

Our reputation is built on a tradition of educational distinction, reflected in our diverse course offerings, exceptional Fine Arts programming, competitive athletic teams, and a variety of extracurricular clubs that nurture student interests and leadership. Students benefit from close-knit relationships with faculty, opportunities for academic challenge, and meaningful engagement both inside and outside the classroom.

Weedsport is more than a place—it’s a community defined by partnership, pride, and resilience. Our families enjoy a unique blend of suburban and rural living, where scenic countryside and tight-knit neighborhoods offer both comfort and connection. This setting provides students with the safety and support of a small town, while remaining closely connected to cultural and educational resources. Just minutes from Auburn and within convenient reach of Syracuse and Rochester, residents enjoy peaceful living with easy access to the broader opportunities of nearby cities.

Steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty, Weedsport sits along the path of the original Erie Canal—once a vital corridor of commerce and growth for New York State. Today, the modern Erie Canal system flows along the nearby Seneca River, just north of the village, preserving the canal’s legacy while offering opportunities for recreation. Residents and visitors alike enjoy riverfront access for boating, fishing, and outdoor adventure, with heritage trails and canalway paths enhancing the experience for those who appreciate both history and nature.

As the gateway to the Finger Lakes, Weedsport is uniquely positioned at the intersection of cultural vibrancy and natural beauty. Whether visiting a lakeside vineyard, biking along scenic trails, attending a student performance in our school auditorium, or cheering on the Wolverines under the Friday night lights, our community embraces a well-rounded, spirited lifestyle. Local events, seasonal celebrations, and strong civic participation foster a sense of belonging and pride among residents of all ages.

Our athletic programs have a long-standing tradition of excellence, and our modern facilities support a wide range of sports and student-athletes throughout the year. We believe in nurturing the whole child—academically, artistically, athletically, and socially—so that each student graduates ready to contribute and thrive.

At its core, the Weedsport Central School District remains committed to Inspiring Excellence, Ensuring Success—a promise reflected not only in our classrooms, but in the energy, unity, and resilience that define the Weedsport community. Whether you're raising a family, starting a new chapter, or returning to your roots, Weedsport offers a welcoming environment where every student—and every resident—can grow, contribute, and succeed.
