Summary:

The 14881 zip code is home to a single school, Caroline Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Ithaca City School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, its academic performance lags behind the district and state averages, particularly in the earlier grade levels.

Caroline Elementary School's student population is predominantly White (79.86%), which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 32.08% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
