Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12568

Summary:

The 12568 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Plattekill Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. With a diverse student population and a focus on academic performance, this school provides an important educational resource for the local community.

Plattekill Elementary School has a student body that is 52.35% White, 37.28% Hispanic, and 7.65% African American, reflecting the diversity of the surrounding area. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with 3rd-grade students scoring above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math, but 5th-grade students performing below the averages in those subjects. This suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum and teaching methods to identify areas for improvement and ensure all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it benefits from relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, which suggests access to more resources compared to the district and state averages. However, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school may still be serving a population with significant economic challenges. By continuing to monitor the school's progress and implementing targeted strategies to address these challenges, the Wallkill Central School District can work to ensure that Plattekill Elementary School provides a high-quality education for all of its students.
