Summary:
The 12149 zip code in New York is home to two schools: Cobleskill-Richmondville High School and Joseph B Radez Elementary School, both part of the Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District. While the high school is performing reasonably well, the elementary school is struggling, particularly in terms of academic proficiency.
Cobleskill-Richmondville High School has consistently ranked in the top half of New York high schools, with strong performance on Regents exams and a relatively low dropout rate. However, the school does have a high chronic absenteeism rate, which is an area for potential improvement. In contrast, Joseph B Radez Elementary School has struggled in recent years, ranking in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools and performing significantly below the state averages on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math.
Both schools have a high percentage of students (over 45%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population that may require additional resources and support. The high school also spends significantly more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the elementary school, which may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools. Addressing the needs of the high-need student population and targeting interventions at the elementary level could be important focus areas for the district.
