Summary:
The 12809 zip code in New York is home to two schools, Argyle Elementary School and Argyle Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Argyle Central School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 503 out of 874 in New York, the data suggests that the junior/senior high school is the standout performer in this set, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, and higher graduation rates compared to the elementary school.
Argyle Junior/Senior High School is ranked 321 out of 1,234 New York high schools, with a 4-star rating, and boasts a 84.3% four-year graduation rate. The school's students also perform above the state average in several Regents exams, including Chemistry, Algebra II, ELA, Earth Science, Global History, and Living Environment. In contrast, Argyle Elementary School is ranked 1,260 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, with a 2-star rating, and while its students perform above the state average in ELA and Math, the school's overall performance lags behind its counterpart.
Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates around 45-48%. However, the higher spending per student at the junior/senior high school, $31,685 compared to $23,620 at the elementary school, may be contributing to its stronger academic performance. Additionally, the junior/senior high school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9:1, compared to 11:1 at the elementary school, which could provide students with more individualized attention and support.
