Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12828

Summary:

The 12828 zip code area is home to a single alternative public school, the Fort Edward School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 378 students. While the school faces some academic challenges, it also demonstrates strengths in areas such as Regents exam performance and individualized attention for students.

The Fort Edward School had a 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.5% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math was generally below the district and state averages, with some exceptions in certain grade levels. Conversely, the school performed better on Regents exams, with several subject areas exceeding the district and Fort Edward Union Free School District averages.

The school's relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 56.61% indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional resources and support. The school's high per-student spending of $30,647 and low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 suggest a focus on providing individualized attention and support to students, which could be a contributing factor to the school's better performance on Regents exams.
