Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12209


Summary:

The 12209 zip code area of Albany, New York is home to 3 schools serving elementary and middle school students: Stephen And Harriet Myers Middle School, Albany School Of Humanities, and Delaware Community School. While the schools serve similar student populations, the data reveals significant performance disparities, with Albany School of Humanities standing out as the top-performing school in the group.

Albany School of Humanities, a public magnet elementary school, ranks in the top 22% of New York elementary schools and significantly outperforms the district and state averages on state assessments across English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Delaware Community School is the lowest-performing school, ranking in the bottom 10% of elementary schools statewide. The middle school, Stephen and Harriet Myers, also struggles with proficiency rates below district and state levels, particularly in 8th grade math and science.

Across the schools, high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, ranging from 62% to 81%, suggest these institutions serve predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations. Per-student spending varies widely, from $12,205 at Delaware Community School to $18,708 at Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School, raising questions about equity in resource allocation within the Albany City School District. Addressing the root causes of these performance disparities should be a priority to ensure all students in the 12209 area have access to a high-quality education.
