Summary:
The 12937 zip code in New York is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Salmon River High School, Salmon River Elementary School, and Salmon River Middle School. These schools, which are part of the Salmon River Central School District, face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels, and racial disparities.
Across the three schools, proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math are well below the state averages, suggesting systemic issues that need to be addressed. The high school has mixed performance on Regents exams, with some subjects like English and Chemistry performing better than the state average, but others like Algebra I, Geometry, and Global History performing much worse. Additionally, the high school's four-year graduation rate of 90.8% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.0% is on the higher end.
The schools in the 12937 zip code serve a predominantly low-income student population, with very high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility ranging from 68.69% at the high school to 76.68% at the middle school. This high poverty level likely contributes to the academic struggles and may require additional resources and support. Furthermore, the schools have a high percentage of Native American students, ranging from 22.08% at the elementary school to 63.64% at the high school, suggesting potential issues with equity and opportunity gaps that need to be investigated further.
