Summary:
The 13607 zip code area is home to two schools - Alexandria Central Elementary School and Alexandria Central High School, both part of the Alexandria Central School District. While the high school consistently ranks in the top 25-30% of New York high schools, the elementary school has more average performance, ranking in the middle 30-40% of the state's elementary schools.
The high school stands out with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, a graduation rate of 84.3%, and a low dropout rate of 4.9%. In contrast, the elementary school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally below the state averages, though it does perform better in some grade levels. Both schools serve a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower-income student population.
Despite the higher per-student spending at both schools, the significant differences in academic performance between the elementary and high school suggest the district should examine how resources are being utilized and develop targeted strategies to improve outcomes, particularly at the elementary level. The high school's consistent high performance could provide insights that could be applied to the elementary school to help bridge the gap.
