Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12924

Summary:

The 12924 zip code is home to two schools, Ausable Valley High School and Ausable Valley Middle School, both part of the Ausable Valley Central School District. While the high school has maintained relatively strong performance in some areas, the middle school is struggling with low test scores, and the district as a whole is ranked near the bottom of the state.

Ausable Valley High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 464th out of 1,228 high schools in 2022-2023 to 596th out of 1,234 in 2024-2025. The school has a graduation rate of 84.3% and a dropout rate of 4.5%, with test scores that are generally above average. In contrast, the middle school's test scores are particularly concerning, with only 34.57% of 7th graders and 11.36% of 8th graders proficient or better in Math, and 18.52% of 7th graders and 10% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts.

Both schools have relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, at 51.29% for the high school and 52.53% for the middle school, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the district. Despite the high spending per student at both schools ($31,199 for the high school and $35,903 for the middle school), the low statewide rankings and test scores suggest that this spending may not be translating into strong academic outcomes for all students.
