Summary:
The 13439 zip code area is home to two schools - Richfield Springs Elementary School and Richfield Springs Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Richfield Springs Central School District. While the elementary school struggles with below-average test scores and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the alternative high school performs better academically and has a graduation rate of 84.3%, though it also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism.
Richfield Springs Elementary School, with an enrollment of 242 students, has mixed performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates below the state average in many areas. The school spends $18,736 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.8. In contrast, the alternative Richfield Springs Junior/Senior High School, with 194 students, generally outperforms the state averages on assessments and Regents exams, though its four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is lower than the state average.
The data suggests a significant disparity in academic performance between the two schools, which may be influenced by factors such as economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism. The district may benefit from reviewing its resource allocation and support strategies to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the 13439 zip code area.
