Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13126

Summary:

The 13126 zip code area in Oswego, New York is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Oswego City School District. While the district as a whole struggles academically, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools emerge from the data.

Oswego Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Algebra I and Living Environment, far exceeding district and state averages. In contrast, Oswego High School has seen a decline in recent years, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating and struggling with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and concerning chronic absenteeism levels.

The elementary schools in the 13126 zip code area also face significant challenges, with most performing well below state averages on ELA and Math assessments. However, Kingsford Park Elementary School stands out, with the highest proficiency rates on 4th grade ELA and 5th grade Math assessments compared to the other elementary schools. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools suggest that economic disadvantage is a significant factor impacting student performance in this area.
