Summary:
The 12010 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Amsterdam City School District. While the district is ranked 795 out of 865 in New York and has a 0-star rating, a few schools stand out in the area.
Wilbur H Lynch Literacy Academy, the middle school, has the highest proficiency rates on state assessments, significantly outperforming the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I, Living Environment, and U.S. History and Government. Similarly, Marie Curie Institute of Engineering and Communication, an elementary school, has the highest proficiency rates among the elementary schools, especially in Math and English Language Arts.
However, the data also reveals stark differences in academic performance across the schools, with the majority of the schools in the district performing below the state averages on Regents and state assessments. The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 38.91% to 74.79%. The data suggests that the quality of education may vary greatly within the Amsterdam City School District, and the district may need to address systemic issues to improve student outcomes across all schools.
