Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12190

Summary:

The 12190 zip code is home to a single standout alternative public school, Wells School, which serves grades PK-12 and is part of the Wells Central School District. With a total enrollment of 133 students, Wells School outperforms the state average on many standardized test scores, including Regents exams, and boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.3%, significantly higher than the state average.

The school's specialized approach is evident in its low student-teacher ratio of 6:1, which facilitates individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's predominantly White student population (94.74%) and relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (38.35% receive free or reduced-price lunch) may warrant further investigation into the school's efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 30.8% is an area of concern that the school and district should address to ensure students' academic success.

Overall, Wells School stands out as a high-performing alternative institution within the 12190 zip code, providing a specialized educational experience and strong academic outcomes. While the school's demographic composition and chronic absenteeism rate are areas that may require further attention, the school's commitment to individualized support and college and career readiness is evident in its impressive test scores and graduation rates.
