Summary:
The 12095 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools serve a predominantly white student population, they face challenges related to socioeconomic factors and resource constraints.
Johnstown Junior-Senior High School stands out as a high-performing school, with a 93% 4-year graduation rate and strong performance on Regents exams, particularly in Algebra I, Chemistry, and Global History. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.7% is a concern. The alternative school, Hamilton-Fulton-Montgomery BOCES, serves a more diverse student population and has a low student-teacher ratio, indicating a high level of individual attention.
Across the schools in the 12095 zip code, a significant percentage of students, ranging from 50.7% to 55.2%, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage in the area. This may be contributing to the mixed academic performance observed in the elementary schools, Warren Street School and Pleasant Avenue School. The relatively high per-student spending at the high school compared to the elementary schools, along with the high student-teacher ratios across all schools, indicate potential resource constraints that may be impacting the quality of education.
