Summary:
The 14568 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Gananda Central School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the elementary school has mixed academic performance, the Ruben A Cirillo High School consistently ranks in the top half of New York high schools and demonstrates strong academic achievement, particularly on Regents exams. The Gananda Middle School has also shown improvement, moving up in the statewide ranking and excelling in 7th grade math.
Academically, the high school and middle school generally outperform the elementary school, Richard Mann Elementary, with higher proficiency rates on state assessments. The high school's Regents exam proficiency rates often exceed 80% in many subjects, while the middle school stands out in 7th grade math with a 75.44% proficiency rate, well above the state and district averages.
The higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios at the middle and high schools may contribute to their stronger academic performance compared to the elementary school. However, the elementary school still manages to outperform the state and district averages in some areas, suggesting that factors beyond just resource allocation may be at play. Further analysis on the relationship between student demographics, resource allocation, and academic performance could provide valuable insights for addressing equity concerns within the district.
