Summary:
The 13776 zip code in New York is home to two schools, Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Elementary School and Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Central School District. While the district is ranked 659 out of 865 in New York, the data reveals a mixed picture of the schools' performance, with both strengths and areas for improvement.
Neither school stands out as a clear academic leader, with both the elementary and high school performing below state averages on standardized assessments. The elementary school ranks in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools, while the high school falls in the middle 50% of New York high schools. Despite relatively high spending per student, the schools struggle to achieve strong academic outcomes, with proficiency rates in core subjects like math and English language arts lagging behind state benchmarks.
Socioeconomic challenges may be a contributing factor, as both schools have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families. Additionally, the high school faces a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests the Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Central School District has room for improvement in providing a high-quality education to its students.
