Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14901

Summary:

The 14901 zip code area of Elmira, New York is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools, with Finn Academy: An Elmira Charter School outperforming the other district schools on state assessments.

Finn Academy stands out as the top-performing school in the area, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are substantially higher than the other schools and the state and district averages. In contrast, the district schools, such as Thomas K Beecher School, lag behind, despite serving student populations with high economic need, as indicated by their high free/reduced lunch rates.

The data also highlights differences in resource allocation, with Finn Academy spending the most per student and having the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. However, the lower-performing district schools do not appear to be receiving significantly more funding per student, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the need for targeted investments to address the persistent challenges facing these schools.
