Summary:
The 13084 zip code area is home to two schools - C Grant Grimshaw School, an elementary school, and La Fayette Junior-Senior High School. While the high school generally outperforms the district and state on Regents exams, the elementary school has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math below 40% for most grade levels.
La Fayette Junior-Senior High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is higher than the district and state averages. However, the school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is an area of concern. In contrast, C Grant Grimshaw School has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, but its statewide ranking is in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data reveals a significant difference in academic performance between the two schools. While La Fayette Junior-Senior High School outperforms the district and state on Regents exams, C Grant Grimshaw School struggles to meet proficiency standards in ELA and Math. The high school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes, while the elementary school's higher free/reduced lunch rate could be a factor in its lower performance.
