Summary:

The 12533 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (1 regular and 1 alternative), and no middle schools. The schools in this area display a range of academic performance, with the Gayhead School standing out as the highest-performing, ranking 415 out of 2,439 New York elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating. In contrast, the Orchard View Alternative High School has the lowest statewide ranking of the 3 schools (943 out of 1,228) and only a 1-star rating, with significantly lower academic achievement and higher dropout rates compared to the district and state averages.

The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the performance disparities, as the Orchard View Alternative High School serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 45% compared to 15.93% at Gayhead School and 19.98% at John Jay Senior High School. Additionally, the alternative high school receives significantly higher per-student spending ($35,320) compared to the other schools ($16,319 and $15,431), suggesting that additional resources are being directed towards supporting the alternative school population.

Overall, the schools in the 12533 zip code area display a range of academic performance, with the Gayhead School and John Jay Senior High School performing well, while the Orchard View Alternative High School faces significant challenges. The data highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the disparities in academic outcomes and resource allocation across these schools, which are all part of the Wappingers Central School District.
