Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14217

Summary:

The 14217 zip code area in New York is home to two schools - Kenmore West Senior High School, serving grades 8-12, and Charles A Lindbergh Elementary School, serving grades K-4. While both schools are part of the Kenmore-Tonawanda Union Free School District, they exhibit notable differences in academic performance and resource allocation.

The standout school in this area is Charles A Lindbergh Elementary, which ranks 662 out of 2,439 New York elementary schools and earns a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The elementary school significantly outperforms the district and state averages on 3rd and 4th grade ELA and math proficiency tests, has a lower percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch, and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio compared to Kenmore West Senior High. In contrast, the high school faces challenges around academic achievement, attendance, and resource allocation, with a 4.4% dropout rate and a concerning 33.8% chronic absenteeism rate.

These findings suggest that while both schools serve the 14217 zip code area, Charles A Lindbergh Elementary is providing a stronger educational foundation for its students. The performance gap between the elementary and high school raises questions about how resources are distributed across the district and the long-term impact on student outcomes. Addressing attendance issues and ensuring equitable access to quality education could be key focus areas for the Kenmore-Tonawanda Union Free School District moving forward.
