Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12170

Summary:

The 12170 zip code area is home to two schools - Stillwater Middle School High School and Stillwater Elementary School, both part of the Stillwater Central School District. The data shows a significant performance gap between the middle/high school, which is excelling academically, and the elementary school, which is performing more moderately.

Stillwater Middle School High School stands out as the stronger of the two schools, with consistently high performance on state assessments and Regents exams, strong graduation rates, and recognition as a top-performing high school in New York. In contrast, Stillwater Elementary School has more mixed results, with some grades and subjects exceeding state averages but others falling short.

Both schools have higher than average per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios compared to state averages, suggesting the district is investing significant resources. However, the middle/high school faces concerns around a high chronic absenteeism rate, which could be an area for improvement. Additionally, both schools serve a relatively economically disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced lunch rates around 30%, indicating potential equity issues that may require additional support and resources.
