Summary:
The 10950 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school, spread across 3 different school districts. The standout school in this set is Greenwood Lake Middle School, which is ranked 121 out of 1,500 New York middle schools and significantly outperforms state and district averages on student test scores. In contrast, Kiryas Joel Village School stands out as an underperforming school with a 0% 4-year graduation rate and very low test scores.
The schools in this area vary widely in their student demographics and funding levels. Pine Tree Elementary School and North Main Street School, both part of the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District, perform below the state average on most metrics despite the district's relatively high ranking. Meanwhile, Kirya Joel Early Childhood Educational Center and Kiryas Joel Village School serve a 100% white student population, which is highly unusual for public schools in New York.
Overall, the data highlights the diversity of school performance and characteristics even within a small geographic area. While funding levels vary significantly, from $18,221 per student to $87,095 per student, this alone does not guarantee strong academic outcomes. Other factors like teaching quality, curriculum, and student supports likely play a major role in the success of these schools, as evidenced by the standout performance of Greenwood Lake Middle School in the Greenwood Lake Union Free School District.
