St. Joseph's Academy existed as a parochial high school under the direction of the Ursuline Sisters until 1976.  St. Joseph's Community School became a part of the Malone Central School District in September of 1976.   It originally housed students in Kindergarten through Grade 6.  However, over the years the elementary grade configuration has changed a number of times. Presently, it is the home of students in Grades 3 - 5.
