Summary:

The 12306 zip code in New York is home to a single middle school, Schalmont Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Schalmont Central School District. While the school's academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state averages, it excels in preparing students for advanced coursework, with 100% proficiency rates on Regents exams in Earth Science and Algebra I.

Schalmont Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1126 out of 1500 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 847 out of 1504 in 2023-2024 and 902 out of 1500 in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments are lower than the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with 8th grade ELA and Math proficiency rates of 28.89% and 29.07%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52.38% and 46.74%. However, the school's per-student spending of $22,219 in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1.

Despite its academic challenges, Schalmont Middle School's strong performance on Regents exams suggests that it is effectively preparing some students for advanced coursework and college-level assessments. The school's demographics, with a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 26.49% in 2023-2024, may contribute to the academic outcomes, and the school's resource allocation, such as smaller class sizes and additional support services, may be factors in its Regents exam success.
