Summary:
The 10921 zip code area is home to two schools - S.S. Seward Institute, a high-performing high school, and Golden Hill Elementary, an elementary school that has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years. Both schools serve students in the Florida Union Free School District.
S.S. Seward Institute is a standout high school, consistently ranking in the top 50% of New York high schools and outperforming state and district averages on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Geometry, Global History, and Living Environment. The school has a relatively low dropout rate and a strong four-year graduation rate, along with higher than average student spending per pupil.
In contrast, Golden Hill Elementary has seen its statewide ranking decline from the top 27% to the top 38% over the past three years, despite generally solid performance on 3rd-5th grade state assessments in English Language Arts and Math. Both schools serve a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement and the resources required to support these students.
