Summary:
The 12974 zip code area is home to two schools, Moriah Elementary School and Moriah Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Moriah Central School District. While the schools have some positive attributes, such as relatively small student-teacher ratios and high graduation rates, they also face challenges in terms of academic performance and student diversity.
Both Moriah Elementary and Moriah Junior-Senior High have a highly homogeneous student population, with over 98% of students identifying as White, which is significantly higher than the statewide average. This lack of diversity may be an area of concern and warrant further investigation. Academically, the schools underperform compared to state averages, particularly in English Language Arts, with only 19.51% of 5th graders at Moriah Elementary proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 45.09%. Additionally, Moriah Junior-Senior High has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average and could be impacting student learning and achievement.
Despite the relatively high spending per student and small student-teacher ratios at both schools, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into strong educational outcomes. The schools' graduation rate of 90.3% at Moriah Junior-Senior High is slightly below the state average but still a relatively strong performance. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the schools in the 12974 zip code area, with areas of concern around academic performance, student diversity, and chronic absenteeism that may require further investigation and targeted improvement efforts.
