Summary:
The 14416 zip code in New York is home to two schools that are part of the Byron-Bergen Central School District: Byron-Bergen Junior/Senior High School and Byron-Bergen Elementary School. While the district as a whole is ranked 314 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating, the data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the two schools.
The standout school in the area is Byron-Bergen Junior/Senior High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 20% of high schools in New York over the past three school years. This school maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforms the state average on most Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Common Core Algebra II, and Physics. In contrast, Byron-Bergen Elementary School struggles with English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with scores below the state average in most grades.
The data suggests that the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at the junior/senior high school may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to the elementary school. Additionally, the higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the elementary school could be a factor in its lower test scores. These insights highlight the importance of tracking school performance over time and exploring opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing within the district to address the performance gap between the two schools.
