Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14609

Summary:

The 14609 zip code area in Rochester, New York is home to 9 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two different school districts - the Rochester City School District and the East Irondequoit Central School District. While the data reveals stark disparities in academic performance between the schools, a few standouts emerge, including School 52-Frank Fowler Dow, which has relatively strong proficiency rates compared to the district average, and East Irondequoit Middle School, which boasts the highest academic achievement in the data set.

The schools in this area serve predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations, with most having over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor appears to be closely tied to academic performance, as the schools with the highest poverty rates tend to struggle the most on state assessments and Regents exams. Additionally, the Rochester City School District schools generally underperform compared to those in the East Irondequoit Central School District, highlighting the importance of district-level factors in shaping school quality.

While most of the traditional public schools in the 14609 zip code face significant challenges, the data suggests that Vertus Charter School may be providing a more promising alternative, with a higher graduation rate and Regents exam proficiency than the other high schools in the area. Overall, the educational landscape in this zip code is complex, with both high-performing and struggling schools serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, underscoring the need for targeted, multifaceted solutions to address the disparities in academic achievement.
