Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14905

Summary:

The 14905 zip code area is home to two underperforming schools: Ernie Davis Academy, a middle school, and Hendy Avenue School, an elementary school. Both schools are struggling to meet state and district academic standards, with proficiency rates significantly below average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 8th grade math at Ernie Davis Academy, only 7.66% of students were proficient, compared to 40.74% statewide.

The schools in the 14905 zip code area also face socioeconomic challenges, with around 65-66% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing to the schools' academic struggles. Additionally, the schools have a majority white student population, which may not reflect the broader diversity of the local community. While Ernie Davis Academy spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than Hendy Avenue School, these resource differences do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes.

Overall, the data indicates that the schools in the Elmira City School District serving the 14905 zip code area are facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student demographics. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both educational and socioeconomic factors to improve the educational outcomes for students in this community.
