Summary:
The 14525 zip code area is home to two schools - Pavilion Junior-Senior High School and D B Bunce Elementary School, both part of the Pavilion Central School District. While Pavilion Junior-Senior High School is a standout performer, ranking in the top 18% of high schools in New York state, D B Bunce Elementary School is struggling, with student proficiency well below state averages.
Pavilion Junior-Senior High School boasts a 96.5% 4-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and students excel on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Algebra II and Physics. In contrast, D B Bunce Elementary School ranks in the bottom 25% of elementary schools statewide and struggles with low proficiency rates in ELA and math. This suggests a significant performance gap between the two schools, which may be due to differences in resource allocation, with the high school spending $19,489 per student compared to $15,191 per student at the elementary school.
Both schools have a very homogeneous student population, with over 95% of students identifying as White, raising questions about the diversity of the broader community and whether there are opportunities to better serve underrepresented minority students. Additionally, the 21.5% chronic absenteeism rate at Pavilion Junior-Senior High School, while lower than the elementary school, is still relatively high and could be an area for improvement.
