Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13856

Summary:

The 13856 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Walton Central School District, which includes 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative high school. While the district as a whole is ranked 702 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some standout schools worth highlighting.

Walton High School (Alternative School) has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a lower dropout rate of 4.9% compared to the state average. However, the school's performance on Regents exams is mixed, with some subjects scoring above the state average and others below. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is an area of concern. Walton Middle School has shown some promising performance on state assessments, with 8th-grade English Language Arts and Math scores outperforming the district and state averages, and 100% proficiency rates on the Regents Algebra I and Living Environment exams. However, the school's overall statewide ranking places it in the bottom 20% of New York middle schools, indicating room for improvement.

In contrast, Townsend Elementary School has relatively low proficiency rates on state assessments, with most grades scoring well below the state averages in English Language Arts and Math. This suggests a potential need for targeted interventions and support at the elementary level to ensure a stronger academic foundation for students as they progress through the education system. Overall, the data reveals a mix of strengths and challenges within the schools in the 13856 zip code area, and addressing the disparities in academic achievement and ensuring equitable resource allocation may be key focus areas for the Walton Central School District moving forward.
