Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14301

Summary:

The 14301 zip code in Niagara Falls, New York is home to a single public middle school, Gaskill Preparatory School, which serves grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 500 students. The school is part of the Niagara Falls City School District, which is ranked 825 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gaskill Preparatory School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 24.6% White, 45.8% African American, 8.8% Hispanic, 1.4% Asian, 2.2% Native American, and 17.2% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math well below the Niagara Falls City School District and New York state averages. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York middle schools, indicating a persistent struggle to provide a high-quality education to its students.

Despite the school's high percentage of students (78.2%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, the school spends $14,903 per student, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may be facing systemic challenges that require a multi-faceted approach to address.
