Summary:
The 14111 zip code area is home to two schools - North Collins Elementary School and North Collins Junior-Senior High School, both part of the North Collins Central School District. While the junior-senior high school is a standout performer, ranking 170 out of 1,228 New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating, the elementary school lags behind with a 2-star rating.
The junior-senior high school boasts an impressive 92.1% graduation rate and strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates on Regents exams. In contrast, the elementary school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below state averages. This disparity may be attributed to factors such as the junior-senior high school's lower student-teacher ratio of 7.7 compared to the elementary school's 13.4, as well as the higher spending per student at the junior-senior high school ($17,977) compared to the elementary school ($15,559).
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to explore and address. Additionally, the junior-senior high school's chronic absenteeism rate of 27.2% is relatively high and could be a concern that requires further investigation and targeted interventions. Overall, the data highlights the need for the district to closely examine the factors contributing to the performance gap between the two schools and implement strategies to improve the academic outcomes and overall quality of education for all students in the area.
