Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13142


Summary:

The 13142 zip code area is home to two schools - Pulaski Middle-High School and Pulaski Elementary School, both part of the Pulaski Central School District. While the middle-high school performs relatively well on Regents exams, the elementary school struggles to meet state averages on 3rd-5th grade assessments, suggesting a potential disconnect in educational quality between the two schools.

Pulaski Middle-High School ranks 543 out of 1,242 high schools in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 84.3% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state average in several Regents exam subjects, including Chemistry, Algebra II, and English Language Arts. However, it lags behind in subjects like Living Environment and 8th grade Math. In contrast, Pulaski Elementary School ranks 1,652 out of 2,445 elementary schools and has a lower 2-star rating, with proficiency rates in 3rd-5th grade ELA and Math assessments well below the state average.

Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates of 46.42% at the middle-high school and 54.1% at the elementary school. This high level of economic disadvantage in the community could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed, particularly at the elementary school level. The data highlights areas where the schools can focus their efforts to improve student outcomes and address the disparities between the two schools and the state averages.
