Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11596

Summary:

The 11596 zip code area is home to two exceptional elementary schools, North Side School and Center Street School, which consistently rank among the top-performing schools in New York. Both schools demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with students exceeding state and district averages on standardized tests, and are recognized as 5-star institutions by SchoolDigger.

North Side School stands out with its 33rd statewide ranking, high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, and a low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating an affluent student population. Center Street School also impresses with its 102nd statewide ranking and strong academic performance, though it serves a more diverse student population with a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients.

However, other factors such as teacher quality, curriculum, and parental involvement are also likely contributors to the exceptional performance of these schools in the 11596 zip code area.
