Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12790

Summary:

The 12790 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Emma C Chase School, which serves grades K-5 with 228 students. The school is part of the Monticello Central School District, which is ranked 780 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Emma C Chase School outperforms the Monticello Central School District in proficiency rates for both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across grades 3-5, the school still lags behind the state average proficiency rates in these subjects. Additionally, 57.02% of students at Emma C Chase School receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school spends $22,551 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which is lower than the state average.

The data suggests that Emma C Chase School is performing better than its district but still lags behind the state in academic proficiency, despite higher spending and smaller class sizes. The school's high poverty rates may be a contributing factor to its lower performance, and the declining statewide ranking, from 1336 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1585 out of 2439 in 2022-2023 and 1322 out of 2445 in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
