Summary:
The 12443 zip code has only one school, Ernest C Myer School, an elementary school serving grades K-4 with 202 students. The school is part of the Kingston City School District, which is ranked 761 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ernest C Myer School's performance on state assessments is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school outperforms the district in some areas, such as 4th-grade ELA and 3rd-grade math proficiency rates, it generally lags behind the state-level performance. The school's free and reduced lunch rate of 31.68% suggests a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, which may impact academic performance. However, the school's high per-student spending of $39,305 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for students.
Overall, Ernest C Myer School faces challenges in meeting state-level performance standards, particularly in ELA. The school's efforts to address these challenges through increased resources and smaller class sizes may be contributing factors to its mixed academic performance. While the school has some areas of strength, it will need to continue to work to improve student outcomes and close the gap with state-level benchmarks.
