Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12871

Summary:

The 12871 zip code is home to three schools that are part of the Schuylerville Central School District, which is ranked 237 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The standout school in this area is Schuylerville High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 100 high schools in New York and boasts a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schuylerville High School's academic performance is exceptional, with Regents exam scores significantly higher than the state average across many subjects. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and dropout rate of 4.5% also indicate strong college and career readiness. In contrast, Schuylerville Elementary School and Schuylerville Middle School perform well but not at the same level as the high school, with test scores generally above the state average but not as exceptional.

The district's relatively high spending per student, at $26,084 for the elementary school, $28,080 for the middle school, and $30,415 for the high school, may contribute to the strong academic outcomes. However, the district faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism at the high school, with over 30% of students chronically absent, an area the district may want to address to improve student engagement and outcomes.
