Summary:
The 13340 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative charter school. The standout school in this area appears to be the Utica Academy of Science Charter School, which has impressive performance metrics like a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and strong proficiency on Regents exams. In contrast, the traditional public schools in the Frankfort-Schuyler Central School District have lower performance on state assessments and Regents exams, with proficiency rates around 25-40% in ELA and math.
Key metrics show the Utica Academy of Science Charter School has a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 82.84%, yet still manages to outperform the Frankfort-Schuyler schools on graduation rates, dropout rates, and Regents exam proficiency. Meanwhile, the Frankfort-Schuyler schools have higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, but this does not translate to better academic outcomes compared to the charter school.
Overall, the data highlights the complexities in evaluating school performance, as factors beyond just funding and resources appear to be driving the strong results at the Utica Academy of Science Charter School. Further investigation would be needed to identify the best practices and areas for improvement across all the schools in this zip code area.
