Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04924

Summary:

The 04924 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Canaan Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, where it exceeds both district and state averages.

While Canaan Elementary excels in core subjects, it faces some challenges. The school has a high rate of chronic absenteeism, which may contribute to its lower proficiency in Science compared to the district and state. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 74.73% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests potential equity concerns that the school and district should address.

Despite these challenges, Canaan Elementary School appears to be providing a quality education for its students. The school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 8.7 and its overall academic performance indicate that it is a strong option for families in the 04924 zip code. However, the school's lack of demographic diversity may be an area for further exploration and improvement to ensure an inclusive learning environment for all students.
