Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12986

Summary:

The 12986 zip code area is home to two schools - Tupper Lake Middle-High School and L P Quinn Elementary School, both part of the Tupper Lake Central School District. Unfortunately, these schools are performing significantly below state-wide averages, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.

Tupper Lake Middle-High School has a four-year graduation rate of 76.1%, which is lower than the state-wide average, and a relatively high dropout rate of 7.1%. Both schools have a predominantly White student population, with over 90% of students identifying as such, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the local community. While Tupper Lake Middle-High School spends significantly more per student than L P Quinn Elementary School, the consistently low academic performance across both schools suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution.

Overall, the analysis of the school data in the 12986 zip code area reveals a concerning picture of educational outcomes, with both schools struggling to meet state-wide standards. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and ensure that all students in this community have access to high-quality learning opportunities.
