Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13743

Summary:

The 13743 zip code area is home to two schools - Candor Elementary School and Candor Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Candor Central School District. While the high school appears to be the standout performer, the elementary school faces significant academic challenges.

Candor Junior-Senior High School stands out with a higher statewide ranking, a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, and a strong 96% graduation rate - well above the state average. In contrast, Candor Elementary School struggles academically, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math well below the state averages across all grade levels. This disparity in performance between the two schools is noteworthy and warrants further investigation.

Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, the persistent academic challenges at Candor Elementary School suggest that factors beyond resources, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and community engagement, may be influencing student outcomes. Addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in improving the overall performance of schools in the 13743 zip code area.
