Summary:
The 14760 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools. The schools in this area face some academic performance challenges, with most students performing below district and state averages on state assessments. However, the schools also have unique characteristics that provide opportunities for improvement.
Olean Senior High School stands out as the largest school in the area, with 659 students and a relatively diverse student population. While the school has some strong academic results in certain Regents exams, its overall performance on state assessments and graduation rates are below state averages. The school also faces concerns with high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates. In contrast, the two alternative schools, Olean Intermediate-Middle School and Cattaraugus-Allegany-Erie-Wyoming BOCES, serve a wider grade range and have significantly lower student-teacher ratios, which may provide unique learning opportunities.
The two East View Elementary School and Washington West Elementary School have similar student demographics, with around 80% White students and lower academic performance compared to district and state averages. The schools in the Olean City School District and Cattaraugus-Allegany-Erie-Wyoming BOCES serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 48-58% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the academic performance and equity concerns in this area could be a priority for the district and schools.
