Summary:
The 14701 zip code area in New York is home to 13 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools. While the area has some standout performers, such as Southwestern Senior High School and Maple Grove Junior/Senior High School, which boast exceptional graduation rates and strong academic outcomes, many of the schools in the Jamestown City School District struggle, with low proficiency rates and poor statewide rankings.
The data reveals a clear correlation between the socioeconomic status of a school's student population and its academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Samuel G Love Elementary School and George Washington Middle School, tend to have lower test scores and graduation rates. In contrast, the higher-performing Southwestern Elementary School and Southwestern Senior High School have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data also highlights the importance of strong academic foundations in the earlier grades. The middle schools in the Jamestown City School District struggle, with proficiency rates well below state averages, which may contribute to the challenges faced by the district's high schools. However, the standout performance of Southwestern Senior High School and Maple Grove Junior/Senior High School suggests that with the right strategies and resources, the lower-performing schools in the area could potentially improve their academic outcomes.
