Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12816


Summary:

The 12816 zip code area is home to two schools, Cambridge Elementary School and Cambridge Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Cambridge Central School District. While the high school is a standout performer, the elementary school lags behind in academic achievement.

Cambridge Junior-Senior High School is the clear standout, ranking in the top 30% of high schools in New York state with strong academic performance, high proficiency rates on Regents exams, and a graduation rate above the state average. In contrast, Cambridge Elementary School is underperforming, with proficiency rates on state assessments below state averages and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data reveals a significant performance gap between the two schools, with the high school outpacing the elementary school across various metrics. This suggests potential issues with the feeder system or curriculum alignment. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school level compared to the elementary school may be a contributing factor to the performance differences. The district has an opportunity to focus on improving academic outcomes at the elementary level and addressing the root causes of the performance gap to ensure more equitable educational opportunities across the district.
