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 academic performance varies across the schools, the Ruben A Cirillo High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 220 out of 1,228 New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The high school's impressive academic achievements are evident in its high proficiency rates on Regents exams across multiple subjects, a 95% four-year graduation rate, and a low 3.2% dropout rate. In contrast, the Richard Mann Elementary School and Gananda Middle School generally perform below the state averages on ELA and math assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 22.45% to 45.59%. However, the middle school stands out with a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I Regents exam, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
The disparity in academic performance between the high school and the lower grade levels within the same district suggests that factors such as higher per-student spending, lower student-teacher ratios, and the relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch may play a role. Exploring best practices and resource allocation at the high school level could provide valuable insights for enhancing the educational experience and outcomes at the elementary and middle school levels.
