Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12428

Summary:

The 12428 zip code area is home to two schools, Ellenville Junior/Senior High School and Ellenville Elementary School, both part of the Ellenville Central School District. Unfortunately, the data paints a picture of two underperforming schools struggling to meet the academic needs of their students.

Neither Ellenville Junior/Senior High School nor Ellenville Elementary School stand out as high-performing institutions. The high school is ranked 773 out of 1,242 New York high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, while the elementary school is ranked 1,906 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating. Both schools have significantly below-average test scores across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates often less than half the state-wide averages.

The challenges faced by these schools extend beyond just academic performance. The Ellenville Central School District as a whole is ranked 765 out of 865 school districts in New York, indicating systemic issues within the district. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (over 60% at both schools) suggest a high level of economic disadvantage in the community, which may contribute to the academic struggles. Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-to-teacher ratios, the schools have yet to see significant improvements in their outcomes, underscoring the need for a more comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of their underperformance.
