Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14539

Summary:

The 14539 zip code in New York is home to two schools, York Middle/High School and York Central Elementary School, both part of the York Central School District. While York Middle/High School has consistently ranked in the top half of New York high schools, York Central Elementary School has struggled, ranking in the bottom quarter of elementary schools in the state.

York Middle/High School boasts a strong 84.3% four-year graduation rate and generally performs above the state average on Regents exams, particularly in Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. In contrast, York Central Elementary School faces challenges, with only 17.78% and 21.74% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, respectively. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, but the significant performance gap between the two suggests that factors beyond class size may be impacting student outcomes.

The York Central School District as a whole is ranked 527 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in the quality of education across the district. The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, 45.55% at the middle/high school and 57.71% at the elementary school, suggest a relatively low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the elementary school.
