Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12887

Summary:

The 12887 zip code in New York is home to two schools: Whitehall Elementary School and Whitehall Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Whitehall Central School District. While the high school appears to be the stronger performer, with higher test scores, graduation rates, and state rankings, the elementary school is struggling, with very low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged community. Interestingly, the high school spends more per student than the elementary school, despite the greater academic needs at the younger grade levels. The high school also has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger performance. However, the high school faces a concerning issue with chronic absenteeism, with over 33% of students chronically absent.

Overall, the data highlights the need to closely examine the factors contributing to the performance disparities between the elementary and high school, and to develop targeted strategies to support student achievement, particularly at the elementary level. Addressing the challenges faced by the Whitehall Elementary School, such as low proficiency rates and high rates of poverty, will be crucial in ensuring that all students in the 12887 zip code have access to a high-quality education.
