Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12157

Summary:

The 12157 zip code in New York is home to two schools, Schoharie High School and Schoharie Elementary School, both part of the Schoharie Central School District. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are struggling to provide high-quality education to their students, with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and high rates of economic disadvantage.

Neither Schoharie High School nor Schoharie Elementary School stand out as clear academic performers. The high school has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and proficiency rates on state assessments ranging from 10.91% to 64.15% across different subjects and grade levels. The elementary school fares slightly better, with proficiency rates between 22.41% and 39.29% in ELA and Math. However, both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to state averages.

The data also reveals concerning trends, such as the high school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% and the elementary school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 51.87%, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the high school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. Overall, the Schoharie Central School District's low ranking and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that there are systemic issues that need to be addressed to improve the quality of education for students in the 12157 zip code.
