Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04942

Summary:

The 04942 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Harmony Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 58 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces several challenges, including declining performance, socioeconomic disadvantages, and academic underperformance compared to state averages.

Harmony Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2017-2018 to a 1-star rating in the current 2022-2023 school year. This is reflected in the school's academic proficiency rates, which are below the state averages in both English Language Arts (51.52%) and Mathematics (42.86%). Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1%, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by its students.

The high percentage of students (77.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Harmony Elementary suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. This socioeconomic factor may have implications for the school's resources, support systems, and ability to address the diverse needs of its students. The school's predominantly white student population and the economic disadvantages faced by its students also raise questions about equity and access to educational opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds.
