Schools in Zip Code 67878

ZIP code 67878 has two schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Syracuse Elementary (PK–6, 262 students) and Syracuse High (grades 7–12, 230 students). In 2025–26, their equal-weighted average proficiency was 41% in science, compared with 38% statewide; 41% in ELA, compared with 46%; and 27% in math, compared with 41%. Math is the clearest shared concern: both schools fell below the state, and the area average was 15 percentage points behind.

The schools have different subject strengths. Syracuse High led in ELA, with 48% proficient—14 points above Syracuse Elementary and 2 points above the state. Syracuse Elementary led in science, scoring 55% versus the high school’s 28%, a 26-point difference; it was also 16 points above the state, while the high school was 10 points below. Elementary also led in math, at 33% versus 20% at High, though both were below the statewide 41%. The schools serve different grade spans, so their all-grades results are not a like-for-like comparison.

Across the two schools, average results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three subjects: by 2 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 1 in science. But school trends differed: High’s ELA rose 10 points while its math and science fell 1 and 4 points; Elementary’s ELA fell 6 points while its math and science rose 9 and 6 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also moved in different directions: High rose from the 24th to the 48th percentile, while Elementary slipped from the 30th to the 25th. Their student-teacher ratios are nearly identical, at 12.4 and 12.5. Free/reduced-lunch participation was 76% at Elementary and 65% at High; these are contextual observations, not explanations for test results. Both schools reported lower chronic absenteeism than the state: 11% at Elementary and 5% at High, compared with 18% statewide.
