Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12916

Summary:

The 12916 zip code area is home to two schools - Brushton Grade School, an elementary school, and Brushton-Moira High School. Both schools serve a predominantly white student population and appear to be underperforming compared to state-wide metrics, with low academic proficiency, high dropout rates, and concerning attendance issues.

Brushton Grade School has an enrollment of 457 students, with nearly 60% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 13:1, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly below the state average across all grade levels. Similarly, Brushton-Moira High School struggles with low proficiency rates in core subjects and Regents exams, a graduation rate of only 73%, and a dropout rate of 13.4%.

Despite the low performance, both schools are spending relatively high amounts per student, with Brushton Grade School spending $15,245 per student and Brushton-Moira High School spending $18,802 per student. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the underlying challenges facing the Brushton-Moira Central School District.
