Summary:
The 14305 zip code area in Niagara Falls, New York is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Niagara Falls City School District, except for one elementary school, Colonial Village Elementary, which is part of the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District.
Among the schools in the 14305 zip code, Colonial Village Elementary stands out as a consistent top performer, with the highest proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the other elementary schools in the area. In contrast, the majority of schools in the 14305 zip code, all part of the Niagara Falls City School District, struggle with low academic performance, high dropout rates, and significant socioeconomic challenges facing their student populations.
While the Niagara Falls High School performs better than the district average on some Regents exams, it has a low four-year graduation rate and a high chronic absenteeism rate. The elementary schools in the 14305 zip code also face challenges, with very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Despite higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at some of the smaller elementary schools, these factors do not appear to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that addressing the systemic issues facing the Niagara Falls City School District will require a multi-faceted approach.
