Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12901

Summary:

The 12901 zip code area of Plattsburgh, New York is home to 7 schools spanning elementary, middle, high, and alternative education, across two school districts - Plattsburgh City School District and Beekmantown Central School District. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the data reveals stark differences in academic performance between the standout schools and those struggling to meet state standards.

Plattsburgh Senior High School stands out with strong Regents/Common Core exam results and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, but faces the challenge of a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%. In contrast, Stafford Middle School is a bright spot, outperforming both the district and state on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math. At the elementary level, Cumberland Head Elementary School also outperforms its district peers on state assessments.

The data suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be driving the significant performance gaps between schools in the 12901 zip code area. Addressing equity, attendance, and other key drivers of success will be critical for ensuring all students in this community have access to high-quality educational opportunities.
