Summary:
The 14094 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, representing the Lockport City School District and the Starpoint Central School District. While the area has a mix of schools, the standout performer is Starpoint High School, which ranks 46th out of 1,228 high schools in New York and boasts a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Starpoint High School and its feeder schools, such as Starpoint Middle School, demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with over 90% proficiency on many Regents exams and state assessments. In contrast, the Lockport High School and its associated schools in the Lockport City School District generally struggle to meet state averages, with test scores often 20-30 percentage points below the state benchmarks.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the performance gap, as the Starpoint schools have much lower rates of free/reduced lunch recipients (15-18%) compared to the Lockport City schools (54-77%). Additionally, the Lockport schools have higher per-student spending, which could indicate a need to address systemic issues and ensure a well-aligned feeder system to support student achievement across the district.
