Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12883

Summary:

The 12883 zip code area is home to two schools, Ticonderoga Elementary School and Ticonderoga Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Ticonderoga Central School District. The district is ranked 678 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ticonderoga Elementary School performs above the state average in 3rd and 5th grade ELA and Math assessments but struggles in 4th and 6th grade. It has a relatively high percentage of students (59.49%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch and spends $28,622 per student, which is higher than the state average. In contrast, Ticonderoga Junior-Senior High School has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, which is lower than the state average, and struggles with high chronic absenteeism at 31.5%. The high school performs below the state average in most 7th and 8th grade ELA and Math assessments, but performs better than the state average on several Regents exams.

Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. While the schools spend significantly more per student compared to the state average, this does not necessarily translate to better academic performance. The student-teacher ratios are lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor for student learning, but the schools still struggle with academic achievement, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and student engagement, may be more significant drivers of student success.
