Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14012

Summary:

The 14012 zip code area is home to two schools - Pratt Elementary School and Barker Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Barker Central School District. While Pratt Elementary struggles with below-average academic performance, Barker Junior/Senior High stands out as a top-performing high school in New York state.

Barker Junior/Senior High School is consistently ranked among the best high schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 84.3% four-year graduation rate and low 4.9% dropout rate. Barker students excel on Regents exams, exceeding state proficiency averages in subjects like Algebra, English, and U.S. History. This strong academic performance is likely supported by the school's higher per-student spending of $19,874, compared to $13,075 at Pratt Elementary.

In contrast, Pratt Elementary School appears to be underperforming, with students scoring below the state average on NY State Assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests room for improvement. While Pratt Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43.02%) compared to Barker Junior/Senior High (38.7%), the data does not indicate a direct correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. The key takeaway is the stark difference in educational outcomes between the two schools, which may be influenced by factors such as funding, resources, and targeted interventions.
