The district schools are located on the Allegany portion of the Seneca Nation of Indians Reservation. Approximately 36% of the student population is Native American.{{Cite web|url=https://data.nysed.gov/enrollment.php?year=2018&instid=800000054637|title=2018 {{!}} SALAMANCA CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT - Enrollment Data {{!}} NYSED Data Site|website=data.nysed.gov|access-date=2020-04-24}}

The district receives special state and federal funding each year to serve students residing on the Allegany Territory. Funding includes a Native American Tuition contract with New York state and federal USDOE Impact Aid support to offset the effect of tribally held lands on the local school tax base.

Student graduation rates have increased since 2011. Over that span, Native American graduation rate has risen from 41% to 86%. For all learners, the rate has improved from 66% to 86%.{{Cite web|url=https://www.salamancany.org/Domain/4|title=About Salamanca / About Salamanca|last=|first=|date=|website=http|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-04-24}}

The district has been implementing Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) programming in its academic curriculum at all grade levels. It established a nation-wide STEAM and technological partnership with WozED in 2019, allowing Salamanca to become the first public school district in the United States to be a comprehensive K-12 STEAM Pathway District.{{Cite web|url=http://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2019/03/05/1748118/0/en/Woz-U-Education-Partnership-Establishes-First-Pathway-School-District-with-Salamanca-City-Central-Schools-in-Western-New-York.html|title=Woz U Education Partnership Establishes First Pathway School District with Salamanca City Central Schools in Western New York|last=Education|first=Woz U.|date=2019-03-05|website=GlobeNewswire News Room|access-date=2020-04-24}} The district has also partnered with Sky-Op, a US drone technology company and 017A commercial flight licensing.
