Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12085

Summary:

The 12085 zip code is home to a single high-performing high school, Guilderland High School, which is part of the Guilderland Central School District. This school stands out as a top-tier institution, ranking in the top 15% of high schools statewide and maintaining a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.

Guilderland High School's academic excellence is evident in its students' exceptional performance on Regents and Common Core exams, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average across a range of subjects. The school's graduation rate of 84.3% is higher than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is lower, suggesting the school is effectively keeping students engaged and on track to graduate. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is higher than the state average, which could be an area for improvement.

The school's strong performance is likely supported by the district's investment in resources, as evidenced by the higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio. While the relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a more affluent student population, the school's academic success is a testament to the dedication and hard work of its students, teachers, and administrators.
