Summary:
The 13068 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Cassavant Elementary and Freeville Elementary) and 1 high school (George Junior Republic School). While Freeville Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, George Junior Republic School appears to be struggling, ranking in the bottom 2% of New York high schools.
Freeville Elementary significantly outperformed the district and state averages on 3rd grade assessments in both English Language Arts and Math, suggesting it is doing an excellent job of preparing its students academically. In contrast, George Junior Republic School had very low proficiency rates on Regents exams, well below state averages, and a concerning 4-year graduation rate of only 44.4%.
Despite George Junior Republic School having significantly higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school is still underperforming. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes. The demographic differences between the schools, with George Junior Republic School serving a more diverse student population, may also indicate a need for tailored support and interventions to address the unique needs of different student subgroups.
