Best Public Schools in Zip Code 05081


Summary:

The 05081 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Blue Mountain Union School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 411 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, its academic performance lags significantly behind statewide averages, particularly in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Blue Mountain Union School has a predominantly white student population, with 93.92% of students identifying as white. However, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 44.53% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as the 9th-grade students performed well below the state average in both English Language Arts (10.34% proficient or better vs. 42.89% statewide) and Mathematics (6.9% proficient or better vs. 33.03% statewide). The 5th-grade students also underperformed in Science, with 22.58% proficient or better compared to the statewide average of 44.45%.

Despite the school's relatively high spending of $13,058 per student, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. This raises questions about the school's instructional strategies and resource allocation, and highlights the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the academic underperformance and support the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population served by Blue Mountain Union School within the Blue Mountain Union School District #21.
