Summary:
The 13660 zip code area is home to two schools, the Madrid-Waddington Junior-Senior High School and the Madrid-Waddington Elementary School, both part of the Madrid-Waddington Central School District. The junior-senior high school stands out as the stronger performing school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of high schools in New York and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the elementary school has seen a decline in its performance and ranking, falling into the bottom 40% of elementary schools in the state with a 2-star rating.
The junior-senior high school boasts a 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.9% dropout rate, and generally outperforms the district and state averages on Regents exams and state assessments. The elementary school's performance on state assessments is more mixed, with some grades and subjects exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall behind. Both schools have a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the community.
The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at the junior-senior high school compared to the elementary school could be contributing to the stronger academic outcomes at the high school level. This highlights the potential impact of resource allocation and staffing on student success. The mixed performance of the elementary school suggests the need for a more detailed analysis to identify specific areas of strength and weakness, which could inform targeted interventions and support at the elementary level.
