Best Public Schools in Binghamton, NY

Summary:

The city of Binghamton, New York is home to 19 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance and resource allocation among the schools in the Binghamton area, with some standout schools like Chenango Forks High School and Chenango Valley High School consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others in the Binghamton City School District struggle to meet proficiency standards.

The high-performing schools, such as Chenango Forks High School and Chenango Valley High School, boast exceptional proficiency rates, often exceeding 80% and even reaching 100% in some Regents exams. These schools also have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a more advantaged student population. In contrast, the lower-performing schools in the Binghamton City School District, like Benjamin Franklin Elementary and Theodore Roosevelt School, struggle to reach 30% proficiency in state assessments and have much higher free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance.

The data also reveals significant disparities in spending per student, ranging from $12,955 at Chenango Bridge Elementary to $21,944 at East Middle School. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and available resources, play a crucial role in student outcomes. Addressing these inequities and providing targeted support to the lower-performing schools and districts will be essential for ensuring all students in the Binghamton area have access to a high-quality education.
