Summary:
The 13140 zip code area is home to two schools - A A Gates Elementary School and Port Byron Senior High School, both part of the Port Byron Central School District. While the high school performs relatively well on Regents exams, the elementary school struggles with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to district and state averages.
A A Gates Elementary School has a student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which is better than the high school's ratio of 11.6:1. However, the elementary school ranks in the bottom half of New York elementary schools and has proficiency rates ranging from 25-50% across grade levels and subjects. In contrast, Port Byron Senior High School has stronger performance on Regents exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 60-90% in many subject areas. The high school also maintains a respectable four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, though its chronic absenteeism rate is quite high at 34.1%.
The data suggests a significant performance gap between the elementary and high school levels within the district. Additionally, the extremely high free/reduced lunch rate at the high school (92.39%) indicates that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the lower performance at the elementary school and the high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school. Further investigation into the underlying factors and implementation of targeted strategies could help address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students in the 13140 zip code area.
