Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14070

Summary:

The 14070 zip code area is home to three schools - Gowanda Elementary School, Gowanda Middle School, and Gowanda High School - all part of the Gowanda Central School District. While the high school and middle school demonstrate strong performance, the elementary school shows room for improvement, particularly in English Language Arts.

Gowanda High School stands out with a 90.3% four-year graduation rate, higher than the state average, and exceptional performance on Regents exams, exceeding district and state averages in several subjects. Similarly, Gowanda Middle School boasts 100% proficiency rates on Regents exams in Algebra I, Living Environment, and U.S. History and Government. However, the elementary school's statewide ranking has declined, suggesting a potential need for improvement.

All three Gowanda schools have relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $17,902 at the elementary school to $24,545 at the high school, which is notably higher than the state average. Despite this investment, the schools' academic performance is mixed, with the elementary and middle schools scoring below state averages on some assessments. Additionally, Gowanda High School's chronic absenteeism rate of 41.0% is a concern that may be impacting the school's overall performance.
