Summary:
The 13439 zip code area is home to two schools - Richfield Springs Elementary School and Richfield Springs Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Richfield Springs Central School District. While the elementary school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, the junior/senior high school stands out with its alternative grade configuration and strong graduation rates.
Richfield Springs Elementary School has lower-than-average proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state, but it spends significantly more per student than the junior/senior high school. In contrast, Richfield Springs Junior/Senior High School has a unique PK-12 grade structure and a high four-year graduation rate of 92.3%, outpacing the state average. However, the school also faces challenges, with a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0%.
Overall, the schools in the 13439 zip code area present a mixed picture, with strengths and areas for improvement. The significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools, as well as the district's overall ranking in the bottom half of New York schools, suggest that there may be systemic challenges that warrant further investigation and potential improvement strategies to support the educational outcomes for students in this community.
