Summary:
The 14138 zip code area is home to two schools, Pine Valley Elementary School and Pine Valley Central Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Pine Valley Central School District. While both schools face academic challenges, the data suggests that the high school is the stronger performer, with higher statewide rankings, better graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism compared to the elementary school.
The high school ranks in the top 42% of New York high schools, with an 82.9% four-year graduation rate that exceeds the state average. In contrast, the elementary school ranks in the bottom 19% of elementary schools statewide. Academically, the high school outperforms the elementary school, with several Regents exam subjects exceeding state averages, while the elementary school has particularly low proficiency rates on ELA and Math assessments.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as the high school has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the elementary school. This could contribute to the academic performance gap between the two schools. Additionally, both schools have a predominantly white student population, which may not reflect the broader diversity of the local community. Overall, the data highlights the need for further exploration into the underlying factors driving the differences between these two schools and potential opportunities for improvement across the district.
