Summary:
The 13459 zip code is home to a single public school, Sharon Springs Central School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. With a total enrollment of 249 students, the school has a predominantly white student population and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.3%, but also a concerning dropout rate of 8.7%.
Academically, Sharon Springs Central School's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels excelling in both English Language Arts and Math, while others fall below the state average. The school's high per-student spending of $24,746 does not seem to translate into consistently strong test scores, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of resource allocation. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (50.6%) suggests the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to its academic and retention challenges.
Despite the school's strengths, such as its small class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 8.3 to 1, the data indicates that Sharon Springs Central School has room for improvement in ensuring all students receive a high-quality education. Further analysis and comparison to other schools in the region could provide valuable insights to help the school and district address the needs of its diverse student population more effectively.
