Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13440

Summary:

The 13440 zip code area in New York is home to 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Rome City School District. While the district as a whole struggles, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate that academic excellence is possible.

Ridge Mills Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking 706 out of 2,439 elementary schools in New York and earning a 4-star rating. It boasts significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, John E Joy Elementary School and Stokes Elementary School perform better than the district but still lag behind state averages in several grade levels.

The data reveals wide disparities in academic performance across the schools, with a clear correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and student achievement. While most schools struggle, the outlier performance of Ridge Mills Elementary and a few others suggests that targeted interventions and support could help improve educational outcomes in the 13440 zip code area.
