Summary:
The 12413 zip code area is home to three schools that are part of the Cairo-Durham Central School District: Cairo-Durham Elementary School, Cairo-Durham High School, and Cairo-Durham Middle School. The district is ranked 473 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the three schools, Cairo-Durham High School stands out with a 3-star rating, a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3%, and strong performance on Regents exams, with several subjects exceeding the state average in proficiency rates. Cairo-Durham Elementary School also performs well on 4th-grade ELA and Math state assessments, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages, and has a high student-teacher ratio of 8.6, indicating a relatively small class size.
However, the schools generally perform below the state average on ELA and Math assessments, with the exception of the elementary school's 4th-grade performance. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Despite the higher spending per student, the academic performance, while not exceptional, is also not significantly below the state average, suggesting that the resources may not be fully translating into improved outcomes.
