Summary:
The 12501 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Northeast Central School District. While the schools show some bright spots, such as strong performance on certain Regents exams at Webutuck High School and high proficiency rates on state assessments at Eugene Brooks Intermediate School, the overall academic performance of these schools lags behind state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
Notably, Webutuck High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3%, but its overall ranking of 814 out of 1,242 New York high schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest room for improvement. The schools in the 12501 zip code also have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 56.11% at Webutuck Elementary to 57.44% at Webutuck High School, indicating the need to address socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student achievement.
Disparities in spending and resources across the schools, with Webutuck Elementary spending the most per student and Webutuck High School spending the least, may also contribute to the varying academic performance. Identifying and replicating effective practices from the brighter spots, such as the strong results in certain subject areas at Eugene Brooks Intermediate School, could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for students in this community.
