Summary:
The 13202 zip code area of Syracuse, New York contains 3 schools - 1 elementary school, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. These schools are part of the Syracuse City School District, which is ranked 838 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The standout school in this area appears to be the Institute of Technology at Syracuse Central, a high school with the highest test scores and performance metrics compared to the other schools in the data set and the overall Syracuse City School District. This school has a 84.3% 4-year graduation rate, a 4.9% dropout rate, and higher proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams across multiple subjects. In contrast, the STEAM at Dr. King Elementary School appears to be the weakest performer, with very low proficiency rates on 3rd-5th grade state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, well below the district and state averages.
The data also shows that both the Institute of Technology at Syracuse Central and STEAM at Dr. King Elementary have high free/reduced lunch rates, at 68.5% and 93.29% respectively, indicating they serve predominantly low-income student populations. Interestingly, the spending per student is higher at the elementary school ($18,792) compared to the high school ($15,531), despite the elementary school's much lower academic performance. This may suggest inefficient or ineffective use of resources at the elementary school level.
