Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12729

Summary:

The 12729 zip code is home to a single elementary school, N A Hamilton Bicentennial School, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 464 students. The school is part of the Port Jervis City School District, which is ranked 672 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, its academic performance on state assessments is generally lower than both the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 33.33% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 29.45% and the state's 42.6%. The school's math and science proficiency rates also lag behind state averages. Additionally, over 53% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The data suggests that N A Hamilton Bicentennial School and the Port Jervis City School District as a whole may need to focus on identifying and addressing the factors contributing to the lower academic performance, potentially through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community. While the school's small class sizes could be an asset in supporting student learning, the significant gap in test scores compared to state averages indicates room for improvement in educational outcomes for the students in this zip code.
