Summary:

The 12065 zip code in New York is home to three middle schools - Gowana Middle School, Koda Middle School, and Acadia Middle School - all part of the highly-ranked Shenendehowa Central School District. Among these schools, Gowana Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher than the other two schools in statewide assessments and exceeding district and state averages in key subject areas.

Gowana Middle School has maintained exceptional academic results over the past three school years, reaching as high as 90th out of 1,504 New York middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school boasts impressive proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, often surpassing the district and state averages. In contrast, Koda Middle School and Acadia Middle School have slightly lower academic performance, though all three schools maintain 100% proficiency rates on Regents exams in Algebra I, Geometry, and Earth and Space Sciences.

The differences in free/reduced lunch rates among the three schools suggest potential socioeconomic disparities within the district, which could be an area for further investigation to understand the factors contributing to the academic performance differences. Nevertheless, the overall high-quality education provided by the Shenendehowa Central School District is evident, with all three middle schools delivering exceptional results and preparing students for success.
