Summary:
The 13803 zip code area is home to two schools - William Appleby Elementary School and Marathon High School, both part of the Marathon Central School District. While the elementary school has mixed academic performance, the high school stands out as a strong performer, consistently ranking in the top third of New York high schools and outpacing state and district averages on a variety of measures.
Marathon High School has impressive test scores, with 7th and 8th grade ELA and Math proficiency rates significantly above the state averages. The school also sees strong performance on Regents exams, with many subject areas seeing over 75% proficiency rates. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, though the dropout rate of 4.9% is worth noting.
In contrast, William Appleby Elementary School has mixed results, with some grade levels exceeding state averages (5th and 6th grade Math, 5th grade Science) but struggling in other areas (3rd and 4th grade ELA). The school is ranked in the top 1,200 elementary schools in New York state, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a relatively economically disadvantaged student population, but the high school's strong performance despite this factor is commendable.
