Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12845

Summary:

The 12845 zip code is home to two high-performing schools, Lake George Junior-Senior High School and Lake George Elementary School, both part of the Lake George Central School District. These schools consistently rank among the top in New York state, with exceptional academic achievements and a strong focus on core subjects like Math, Science, and English Language Arts.

Lake George Junior-Senior High School stands out with its 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its status as a top-performing high school. The school boasts a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, a low 4.9% dropout rate, and test scores that significantly exceed the state averages. Lake George Elementary School also shines, ranking in the top 210 elementary schools in New York and demonstrating strong academic performance across the board.

Both schools benefit from high levels of funding, with Lake George Junior-Senior High School spending $24,591 per student and Lake George Elementary School spending $20,109 per student. These investments contribute to their low student-teacher ratios, which allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the relatively low free/reduced lunch rates at these schools suggest that they may serve a more affluent student population, raising questions about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the community.
