Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12740

The 12740 zip code area is home to two schools, Tri-Valley Elementary School and Tri-Valley Secondary School, both part of the Tri-Valley Central School District. While the secondary school appears to be a relatively strong performer, the elementary school and district-level metrics suggest areas for improvement, particularly in core academic subjects.

The standout feature of the schools is the strong performance of Tri-Valley Secondary School, which has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 472 out of 1,234 New York high schools. The school also boasts a solid 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a lower than average dropout rate of 4.5%. Additionally, Tri-Valley Secondary School students demonstrate strong proficiency on several Regents exams, exceeding state averages in subjects like Common Core English Language Arts, Global History and Geography, U.S. History and Government, and Physics.

However, the data also reveals some areas of concern. While the secondary school performs well on Regents exams, both the elementary and secondary school students struggle with proficiency on the 3rd-8th grade state ELA and math assessments, often falling below state averages. Additionally, the secondary school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which could be an area for improvement. The Tri-Valley Central School District as a whole is ranked 526 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating potential room for improvement across the district.
