Summary:
The 13140 zip code area is home to two schools - A A Gates Elementary School and Port Byron Senior High School, both part of the Port Byron Central School District. While the high school demonstrates stronger academic performance, the elementary school lags behind state averages, and the district faces challenges with diversity and chronic absenteeism.
A A Gates Elementary School has relatively low academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 27% to 50% across grade levels. The school also has a very homogeneous student population, with 93.7% of students being white. In contrast, Port Byron Senior High School has stronger academic performance, with Regents exam proficiency rates generally higher than the state averages, and a graduation rate of 92.4%. However, the high school faces a significant chronic absenteeism rate of 37.9%.
Both schools have relatively high spending per student, with A A Gates Elementary at $11,522 and Port Byron Senior High at $12,778 per student, as well as low student-teacher ratios. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and a more comprehensive approach to improving educational quality and outcomes may be necessary for the Port Byron Central School District.
