Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12549

Summary:

The 12549 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The standout performer in this group is Valley Central High School, which ranks in the top 25% of New York high schools and boasts exceptional test scores, a high graduation rate, and a low dropout rate. The Valley Central Middle School also impresses, outperforming district and state averages in several key areas, including 100% proficiency in Regents Algebra I and Living Environment exams.

The student demographics across the schools are diverse, with a mix of White, Hispanic, and African American students. While the high school and middle school generally outperform the elementary schools in academic performance, the two elementary schools, Montgomery Elementary and Berea Elementary, have lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to their counterparts. This suggests a potential need for targeted interventions or curriculum adjustments to improve academic achievement at the elementary level.

The schools in the 12549 zip code area serve communities with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the differing percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This diversity may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of addressing the unique needs of the student population. Overall, the Valley Central School District (Montgomery) appears to be making a concerted effort to provide a quality education, as evidenced by the relatively low student-teacher ratios and the higher spending per student at Berea Elementary.
