Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12202

Summary:

The 12202 zip code area of Albany, New York is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of school performance, with some standout schools but also significant challenges at the charter schools and wide gaps in proficiency rates compared to state averages.

William S Hackett Middle School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the other schools. In contrast, the two charter schools, KIPP Albany Community Charter School and Green Technical High Charter School, have the lowest overall performance and rankings. Thomas S O'Brien Academy of Science & Technology, an elementary magnet school, also stands out with strong performance among the elementary schools.

The data reveals significant gaps in academic performance between the schools and compared to state averages. For example, in 8th grade math, proficiency at William S Hackett Middle School (13.04%) was less than a third of the state average (40.72%). This suggests the schools face challenges in providing equitable education, likely due to differences in resources and the high-need student populations they serve, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 69.94% to 92.57% across the schools.
