Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13417


Summary:

The 13417 zip code area is home to a single alternative public school, the New York Mills School, which serves grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 546 students. While the school boasts a strong four-year graduation rate of 92.1% and a relatively low dropout rate of 2.6%, it faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Academically, the New York Mills School's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is mixed, with the school outperforming the state and New York Mills Union Free School District averages in some subject areas, such as Algebra II, English, and Global History, but underperforming in others, such as 8th grade Math. The school's student population is predominantly white (86.08%), with the next largest racial groups being African American (6.23%) and Asian (3.11%). Nearly half (49.45%) of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite these challenges, the New York Mills School appears to be investing resources in providing a supportive learning environment, with a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 and spending $19,910 per student, which is higher than the state average. The school's unique characteristics as an alternative public school may contribute to some of the observed trends, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the high chronic absenteeism rate and uneven academic performance across subject areas.
