Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12158

Summary:

The 12158 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District. While the district faces some challenges, a few standout schools emerge, including Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Senior High School and Albertus W Becker School.

Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Senior High School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 88.7% and strong performance on Regents exams, exceeding district and state averages in several subject areas. In contrast, Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Middle School lags behind the district and state in English Language Arts and Math assessments for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, suggesting a potential disconnect in academic progression. Albertus W Becker School, the district's elementary school, outperforms the district and state in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Math assessments.

Across the district, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 75.64% to 80.75% at the three schools. However, a significant portion of students, between 38.97% and 43.33%, receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a substantial population of economically disadvantaged students. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the district's overall lower performance compared to the state, as research has shown that socioeconomic factors can significantly impact academic achievement. The district could explore strategies to address these challenges and build on the strengths of its standout schools to improve educational outcomes for all students.
