Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13491

Summary:

The 13491 zip code area is home to 3 schools operated by the Mount Markham Central School District, serving students from elementary through high school. While the performance of these schools varies, the district stands out for its strong academic achievement at the high school level and its predominantly white student population.

At the top of the district is Mount Markham Senior High School, which ranks 463 out of 1,228 New York high schools and boasts an impressive 98.5% four-year graduation rate. Students at the high school outperform the state average on several Regents exams, including Algebra II, English, and U.S. History and Government. In contrast, Mount Markham Middle School struggles academically, with proficiency rates below the state average in most ELA and Math assessments.

The racial composition of the schools in the 13491 zip code is notably homogeneous, with white students comprising over 95% of the student population. This lack of diversity may limit students' exposure to different perspectives and experiences. Additionally, the district's resource allocation favors the secondary schools, with higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at the high school and middle school levels compared to the Mount Markham Elementary School. This resource distribution may contribute to the stronger academic performance observed at the high school, but it also raises questions about the potential impact on the elementary school's performance.
