Summary:
The 12522 zip code area is home to three schools - Dover High School, Dover Middle School, and Dover Elementary School - all part of the Dover Union Free School District. While the high school and middle school show some strengths, the elementary school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools.
Dover High School stands out for its strong performance on several Regents exams, with proficiency rates above the state average in subjects like Algebra II, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is above the state average. In contrast, Dover Elementary School struggles with consistently low proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math.
The data also reveals that all three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.31% at Dover High School to 71.28% at Dover Elementary School. This suggests that the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student achievement. Understanding these dynamics can help inform targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes across the district.
