Summary:
The 14006 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the Lake Shore Senior High School stands out with relatively strong performance on Regents exams and a higher-than-average 4-year graduation rate, the middle and elementary schools in the Evans-Brant Central School District (Lake Shore) face more significant academic and socioeconomic challenges.
The A.J. Schmidt Elementary School is a bright spot, with some of the highest proficiency rates on state assessments in the 3rd-5th grade math and ELA tests compared to the district and state averages. However, the William G. Houston Middle School and the other elementary schools lag behind the district and state on state assessment proficiency rates, especially in ELA. This suggests potential issues with the academic pipeline and preparation of students as they progress through the district.
The data also reveals disparities in funding, with the high school receiving the highest per-student spending, which may contribute to the performance differences observed. Additionally, the Evans-Brant Central School District (Lake Shore) and Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES have seen their statewide rankings and SchoolDigger ratings decline over the past few years, suggesting a need for improvement across the district.
