Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12432

Summary:

The 12432 zip code in New York is home to a single school, Riccardi Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade as part of the Saugerties Central School District. While the school has some positive metrics, such as relatively high math proficiency rates, it also faces challenges, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) performance, which falls below district and state averages.

Academically, Riccardi Elementary School's proficiency rates in ELA are consistently lower than the Saugerties Central School District and New York state averages across all grade levels. In contrast, the school performs better in math, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in several grade levels. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is slightly above the district and state averages. However, the school's overall academic performance is mixed, suggesting a need to focus on improving its ELA instruction and curriculum.

Regarding resources, Riccardi Elementary School has a higher-than-average spending per student at $16,738, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.9, indicating a relatively favorable staffing situation. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into consistently strong student outcomes, as evidenced by the school's declining ranking and star rating on SchoolDigger over the past three years. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (33.18%), suggesting the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement and provide appropriate support and resources.
