Best Public Schools in Zip Code 10962

Summary:

The 10962 zip code in New York is home to two high schools: Tappan Zee High School, a public school, and Rockland Children's Psychiatric Center, a public school operated by the New York State Office of Mental Health. Tappan Zee High School stands out as an academically strong institution, consistently outperforming state and district averages on Regents/Common Core exams and ranking in the top 10% of New York high schools.

Tappan Zee High School boasts impressive academic metrics, including a 90.4% proficiency rate in Algebra II, a 94.61% proficiency rate in English Language Arts, and a 97.6% proficiency rate in Global History and Geography, all of which exceed state averages. The school also maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9% and a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%. In contrast, the Rockland Children's Psychiatric Center serves a much smaller student population of 16 and does not have the same level of detailed performance data available, likely due to its specialized focus on serving students with mental health needs.

The higher per-student spending at Tappan Zee High School ($24,419) compared to the state average may be a contributing factor to the school's strong academic outcomes. Additionally, the 22.25% free/reduced lunch rate at Tappan Zee High School suggests a mix of socioeconomic backgrounds among the student population, which could also play a role in the school's overall performance. While the data indicates that Tappan Zee High School is a high-performing institution, the lack of information for the Rockland Children's Psychiatric Center makes it difficult to assess the educational opportunities and outcomes for students in that specialized setting, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and analysis to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the 10962 zip code.
