Best Public Schools in Zip Code 10956

Summary:

The 10956 zip code area is home to 7 public schools, including 6 elementary schools and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Clarkstown Central School District and East Ramapo Central School District (Spring Valley). The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the Clarkstown schools and the lone East Ramapo school, Summit Park Elementary School.

The Clarkstown schools, such as Clarkstown North Senior High School, Laurel Plains Elementary School, and Little Tor Elementary School, consistently rank among the top schools in New York, with exceptional test scores, low dropout rates, and high graduation rates. In contrast, Summit Park Elementary lags significantly behind, highlighting the importance of equitable funding and resources across all schools in the area.

The analysis suggests a correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, with the higher-performing Clarkstown schools receiving significantly more funding than the lower-performing East Ramapo school. Additionally, the data points to the importance of early intervention and support, as some students are already behind in ELA and Math by the 3rd grade. Overall, the schools in the 10956 zip code area present a mixed picture, with the Clarkstown schools shining as high-performing institutions and the East Ramapo school struggling to meet the needs of its students.
