Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13491

Summary:

The 13491 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Mount Markham Central School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the Mount Markham Senior High School and Mount Markham Elementary School have demonstrated strong academic performance, the Mount Markham Middle School has struggled, with proficiency rates below the state average in most subject areas.

The Mount Markham Senior High School stands out, ranking in the top third of New York high schools and achieving a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average. The school also performed well on Regents exams, with several subject areas exceeding the state average proficiency rates.

Across the district, a significant percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.77% to 54.57%, indicating a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by some of the schools and could require additional resources and support to address. The district's focus on providing personalized attention and support to students is evident in the relatively low student-teacher ratios across all schools.
