Best Public Schools in Zip Code 10918

Summary:

The 10918 zip code area is home to two schools - Chester Academy-Middle/High School and Chester Elementary School, both part of the Chester Union Free School District. While Chester Academy stands out with strong academic performance and high graduation rates, Chester Elementary lags behind on state assessment proficiency, pointing to potential equity concerns and a need for improvement efforts across the district.

Chester Academy-Middle/High School is the clear standout, with a 97% graduation rate, low dropout rate, and impressive Regents exam proficiency rates that exceed state averages in several subjects. In contrast, Chester Elementary School has more average performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally below state averages in English Language Arts and Math. This stark difference in academic achievement between the two schools suggests a need to examine instructional practices and resource allocation to ensure more equitable outcomes.

Both schools serve a diverse student population, with significant percentages of White, Hispanic, and African American students, and around 40-44% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic challenges in the community. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and improving attendance, particularly the high chronic absenteeism rate at Chester Academy-Middle/High School, should be priorities for the Chester Union Free School District as it works to provide a high-quality education for all students in the 10918 zip code area.
