Summary:
The 13036 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Central Square Central School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the high school, Paul V Moore High School, shows some academic strengths, the elementary and middle schools in the district face significant challenges in student performance, particularly in ELA and math.
Central Square Middle School stands out with impressive Regents exam proficiency rates, including 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Living Environment. However, the school's ELA proficiency rates are below district and state averages. In contrast, Paul V Moore High School has relatively strong Regents exam proficiency rates and a higher-than-average graduation rate, but struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.3%.
Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly white student population with high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 43.69% to 53.81%, indicating significant economic challenges. This may be contributing to the academic disparities observed, with the elementary and middle schools performing well below state averages in ELA and math. Addressing these disparities and the high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school could be key focus areas for the district to improve overall student outcomes.
