Summary:
The 13135 zip code area in New York is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Phoenix Central School District. While the middle and high schools in this area show promising performance, the lone elementary school, Michael A Maroun Elementary School, consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools and struggles with low proficiency rates in core subjects.
The standout schools in this area are Emerson J Dillon Middle School and John C Birdlebough High School, both of which outperform the district and state averages in several subject areas, particularly on Regents exams. Emerson J Dillon Middle School boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, while John C Birdlebough High School maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9%.
However, the data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges across all three schools, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 58.02% to 59.92%. This factor may contribute to the academic struggles observed, particularly at the elementary school level. The district as a whole faces opportunities for improvement, such as raising proficiency rates in core subjects and addressing high chronic absenteeism rates, to ensure all students in the 13135 zip code area receive a high-quality education.
