Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13073

Summary:

The 13073 zip code in New York is home to two schools, Groton Junior/Senior High School and Groton Elementary School, both part of the Groton Central School District. While the high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, the elementary school outperforms the high school in several academic areas, suggesting a need for better alignment between the two levels.

Groton Junior/Senior High School serves 402 students in grades 6-12, with a racial makeup of 94% white students. The school has a 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a dropout rate of 7.1%, but its proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams are generally below the New York state averages, particularly in subjects like Geometry, Global History, and Algebra I. In contrast, Groton Elementary School serves 380 students in grades PK-5 and has a more diverse student population, with 83% white students and higher proficiency rates in ELA and math.

Both schools have relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, at around 43%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The high school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.8, compared to 13.5 at the elementary school, but also a higher spending per student of $21,886 versus $11,095 at the elementary school. These differences in resources and support may contribute to the academic performance gap between the two schools, and suggest a need for further analysis and targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for all students in the 13073 zip code.
