Summary:
The 12010 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Amsterdam City School District. This district is ranked 826 out of 874 in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in academic performance across the schools.
However, a few schools stand out as relative bright spots. Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School, which is part of the higher-ranked Broadalbin-Perth Central School District, performs better than the district and state averages, particularly in math. Additionally, Marie Curie Institute of Engineering and Communication, a public magnet elementary school, also outperforms the Amsterdam City School District on state assessments, especially in English Language Arts and math.
The remaining schools in the Amsterdam City School District struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. Raphael J. McNulty Academy appears to be the lowest-performing school, with proficiency rates significantly lagging behind the district and state. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 39.08% at Broadalbin-Perth Elementary to 70.41% at William H. Barkley Microsociety, suggest that the district serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
