Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13903

Summary:

The 13903 zip code area in New York is home to three elementary schools: Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, MacArthur School, and Brookside Elementary School. Among these schools, Brookside Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 1195 out of 2439 New York elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brookside Elementary boasts the highest proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments for both English Language Arts and Math, often exceeding the Binghamton City School District and Susquehanna Valley Central School District averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch at 45.08%, compared to the much higher rates at Benjamin Franklin (74.69%) and MacArthur (62.06%). Brookside also achieves this strong academic performance with the lowest spending per student at $13,803, suggesting efficient resource allocation.

In contrast, Benjamin Franklin Elementary and MacArthur School appear to be struggling, with lower academic performance, higher poverty rates, and lower overall rankings compared to Brookside. These disparities in performance and resource allocation raise concerns about educational equity and the need to ensure all students have access to high-quality learning opportunities, regardless of their socioeconomic background or school location.
