Summary:
The 13052 zip code is home to two schools, Deruyter High School and Deruyter Elementary School, both part of the Deruyter Central School District. Unfortunately, the data suggests these schools are underperforming compared to state averages, with both the high school and elementary school ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories.
Deruyter High School serves 168 students in grades 6-12, while Deruyter Elementary School has 155 students in grades PK-5. Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white. However, the schools struggle academically, with students performing significantly below state averages on most New York State Assessments and Regents exams. The high school's 4-year graduation rate of 96.4% is relatively high, but its concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 32.4% likely contributes to the overall low academic performance.
The data also reveals that a significant portion of the student population at both schools comes from low-income families, with over 50% of high school students and nearly 50% of elementary school students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may present additional challenges for the schools in terms of resource allocation and supporting student learning. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. Overall, the Deruyter Central School District appears to be underperforming and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
