Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12944

Summary:

The 12944 zip code has only one school, Keeseville Primary School, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Ausable Valley Central School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, indicating smaller class sizes, its academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math generally below the state average, except for a strong performance in 6th grade Math.

Keeseville Primary School's statewide ranking has been declining over the past three years, going from 1,454 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,525 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 50.62%, which may present unique challenges and require additional resources to support student learning.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $29,041, the overall academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, suggests that the school may have room for improvement in certain subject areas. The school's strengths, such as smaller class sizes, could be leveraged to enhance student success, while addressing the areas of concern, such as the declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance, could help the school better serve the needs of its students.
