Summary:
The 13357 zip code area is home to two schools - Central Valley Academy, a high school, and Barringer Road Elementary School, serving grades 2-4. While Central Valley Academy has a relatively large enrollment of 617 students, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and its performance on Regents exams is mixed. Barringer Road Elementary School, on the other hand, has an enrollment of 457 students and has struggled with below-average proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates of 62.07% at Central Valley Academy and 56.67% at Barringer Road Elementary School. This may contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Interestingly, Central Valley Academy spends significantly more per student ($24,486) compared to Barringer Road Elementary School ($19,850), which could be a factor in the differences in academic performance between the two schools.
The Central Valley Central School District at Ilion-Mohawk, which oversees both schools, is ranked 661st out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that there may be opportunities for collaboration and resource-sharing between the high school and elementary school to address common challenges and improve student outcomes across the district.
