Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12563

Summary:

The zip code 12563 contains a single public elementary school, Matthew Paterson Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 488 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of White, Hispanic, and other racial/ethnic groups, and a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges in the area.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and high per-student spending of $21,718, its academic performance has been declining in recent years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the Carmel Central School District and the New York state average. This decline is reflected in the school's decreasing ranking among New York elementary schools, from a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 2-star rating in the most recent school year.

The combination of a diverse student population, high resource allocation, and declining academic performance suggests that the school may face unique challenges in meeting the needs of its students. Addressing the underlying factors, such as socioeconomic challenges and the specific needs of the student population, may be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and outcomes.
