Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13407

Summary:

The 13407 zip code area is home to two schools - Gregory B Jarvis Middle School and Harry M Fisher Elementary School, both part of the Central Valley Central School District. While the elementary school serves a relatively smaller student population, the middle school has a larger enrollment of 628 students in grades 5-8. However, the middle school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 40% of New York middle schools over the past 3 years and scoring below the state average on standardized tests, particularly in math and science.

The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, 63.69% at the middle school and 37.76% at the elementary school, indicate a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may contribute to the academic challenges faced by Gregory B Jarvis Middle School. In contrast, the elementary school has a lower free/reduced lunch rate and slightly higher state-wide ranking, though it is still in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools.

Interestingly, the spending per student is higher at the elementary school ($12,421) compared to the middle school ($9,757), which is an unusual pattern. This may suggest the district is allocating more resources to the earlier grades, though further analysis would be needed to understand the drivers behind this funding distribution. Overall, the data highlights the need for improvement at the middle school level, particularly in addressing the academic performance and supporting the high-need student population in the 13407 zip code area.
