Best Public Schools in Zip Code 10547

Summary:

The 10547 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, George Washington Elementary School and Van Cortlandtville School, both part of the Lakeland Central School District. While both schools serve the same community, the data reveals that George Washington Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school in the area.

George Washington Elementary is ranked in the top 26% of New York elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to Van Cortlandtville School's 2-star rating and bottom 46% ranking. George Washington also boasts significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in math, where 81.4% of 5th graders were proficient, compared to the district and state averages of 59.25% and 49.69%, respectively.

While both schools have diverse student populations, George Washington Elementary has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting that factors beyond student demographics, such as school leadership and resource allocation, may be contributing to the performance gap. The higher spending per student at Van Cortlandtville School does not appear to translate to better academic outcomes, highlighting the importance of how resources are utilized within a school.
