Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12158

Summary:

The 12158 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Albertus W Becker School, which serves grades PK-5 with 426 students. The school is part of the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District, which is ranked 660 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Albertus W Becker School's performance is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school excels in certain grade levels and subjects, such as 4th grade Math where its proficiency rate of 59.57% is higher than both the district (48.11%) and the state (58.03%), it generally underperforms in others. For example, the school's 5th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 41.38% is higher than the district (36.79%) but still lower than the state (43.68%). Additionally, the school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate of 34.48% is higher than the district (29.41%) but lower than the state (35%).

The school has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 38.97%, suggesting a significant proportion of students from low-income families. The school's spending per student for the 2022-2023 school year is $16,131, which is higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.6 is relatively low, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
