Summary:
The 14432 zip code area is home to two schools - Midlakes Elementary School and Midlakes Middle/High School - both part of the Phelps-Clifton Springs Central School District. While the middle/high school is performing relatively well, the elementary school is struggling, with most grades scoring well below the state average on assessments.
Midlakes Middle/High School appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, higher graduation rates, and lower dropout rates compared to Midlakes Elementary. The middle/high school has strong performance on Regents exams, with over 80% proficiency in several subject areas. In contrast, Midlakes Elementary has relatively low proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments.
The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools suggest a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by Midlakes Elementary. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate at Midlakes Middle/High is concerning and may be an area for the district to focus on improving. Despite the district's low overall ranking, Midlakes Middle/High is performing better than the district average, indicating that there may be pockets of excellence within the district that could be leveraged to improve the overall performance.
