Summary:
The 13438 zip code area is home to two schools - Remsen Elementary School and Remsen Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Remsen Central School District. While the high school is a standout performer, ranking in the top 10% of New York high schools, the elementary school appears to be struggling, with declining statewide rankings and proficiency rates well below state averages.
Remsen Junior-Senior High School is the clear standout, earning a 5-star rating and consistently high performance on Regents exams. The school has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, exceeding the state average. In contrast, Remsen Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking drop, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math well below state levels. The elementary school also has a high free/reduced lunch rate of over 50%, indicating a relatively high-need student population.
The data suggests a significant performance gap between the elementary and high school within the Remsen Central School District. While the high school is a top performer, the elementary school's declining results may be an area of concern that the district should investigate and address. Factors like chronic absenteeism at the high school and equity considerations across both schools are also worth examining further to ensure all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.
