Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13203

Summary:

The 13203 zip code area of Syracuse, New York is home to 3 public schools: 2 elementary schools (Dr. Weeks Elementary School and Salem Hyde Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Lincoln Middle School). While the schools generally struggle with low proficiency rates on state assessments, Salem Hyde Elementary stands out as the strongest performer, with higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages.

Salem Hyde Elementary had 30.36% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to the district average of 18.77% and the state average of 42.6%. In Math, 25.42% of 5th graders were proficient, outperforming the district's 14.68% and the state's 48.93%. Lincoln Middle School also had some stronger metrics, with 79.31% of students proficient on the Living Environment Regents exam, significantly higher than the district's 31.53% and the state's 62.35%.

However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between these schools and state averages, especially in Math and Science. All 3 schools have very high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.22% at Salem Hyde to 90.76% at Dr. Weeks, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. The relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios suggest the Syracuse City School District is dedicating significant resources to these schools, but the low proficiency rates indicate these resources may not be translating into improved academic outcomes.
