Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12158

Summary:

The 12158 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Albertus W Becker School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District. While the school has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 1410 out of 2439 New York elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1628 out of 2445 in 2024-2025.

Albertus W Becker School's academic performance on the New York State Assessments is a mix, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than the district and state averages, while others lag behind. For example, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate in 2024-2025 (48.98%) is higher than the district (46.15%) but lower than the state (54.15%), while its 3rd grade Math proficiency rate (63.64%) is higher than both the district (58.93%) and the state (59.7%). The school's 5th grade Science proficiency (42.59% in 2024-2025) is higher than the district (30%) but lower than the state (45.02%).

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as it has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (37.74% in 2023-2024) and a higher per-student spending ($26,236 in 2023-2024) compared to the typical school. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 suggests it is a relatively small school, which could provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support for students.
