Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13145

Summary:

The 13145 zip code area is home to three schools - Sandy Creek Elementary School, Sandy Creek High School, and Sandy Creek Middle School, all part of the Sandy Creek Central School District. While the schools vary in size and performance, the data reveals some standout insights about the academic landscape in this area.

Sandy Creek High School emerges as the clear standout, ranking 232 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 60% or more of students proficient or better in several key subject areas. Additionally, the high school maintains a strong graduation rate of 84.3% and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9%. In contrast, Sandy Creek Elementary School, while showing improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years, still ranks lower overall at 1,352 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools. However, the school stands out in 5th-grade science, with 42.31% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 35%.

Across the district, the schools face some common challenges, including relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 49.36% at the elementary school to 53.23% at the middle school. This suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The variation in spending per student, with the high school receiving the highest funding, may also indicate the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and equity within the district. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the middle school's performance in English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages, presenting an area for potential improvement.
