Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12887

Summary:

The 12887 zip code area is home to two schools, Whitehall Elementary School and Whitehall Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Whitehall Central School District. This district is ranked 724 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating that the schools in this area are performing below average compared to state-wide standards.

Neither Whitehall Elementary School nor Whitehall Junior-Senior High School appear to be standout performers. The elementary school has particularly low proficiency rates on state assessments, with less than 25% of students meeting or exceeding standards in most subjects and grade levels. The high school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which could be a contributing factor to its mixed academic performance on Regents exams.

Despite the high spending per student at both schools ($25,977 for the elementary school and $29,097 for the high school), the academic outcomes do not reflect this investment, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation or other factors impacting student learning. Overall, the data indicates that the schools in the 12887 zip code area are facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student outcomes, and addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational quality and support student success.
