Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12442

Summary:

The 12442 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Hunter Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 168 students. The school is part of the Hunter-Tannersville Central School District, which is ranked 530 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hunter Elementary School's performance on state assessments is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school excels in certain areas, such as 6th-grade Math, it struggles in others, like 3rd and 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA). This inconsistent academic performance suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to identify areas for improvement. Additionally, the school's high spending per student of $46,295 raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of its resource allocation.

Despite the school's relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 7.6, nearly 40% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. Targeted interventions and support programs may be necessary to address the needs of these students and ensure equitable access to educational opportunities.
