Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13407

The 13407 zip code area is home to two schools - Gregory B Jarvis Middle School and Harry M Fisher Elementary School, both part of the Central Valley Central School District At Ilion-Mohawk. While the middle school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, the elementary school's performance data is not readily available. However, the data suggests a potential correlation between the schools' performance and the socioeconomic status of their student populations.

Gregory B Jarvis Middle School has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 57.57%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This is reflected in the school's generally below-average performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 36.84% to 57.96% across different grade levels and subjects. However, the school has achieved 100% proficiency rates on the Regents exams for Living Environment and Algebra I, suggesting areas of strength.

In contrast, Harry M Fisher Elementary School has a much lower free/reduced lunch rate of 12.91%, indicating a lower proportion of economically disadvantaged students. While the school's recent performance data is not available, its lower free/reduced lunch rate may indicate better overall academic outcomes. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher-than-average spending per student, suggesting a focus on providing more resources and smaller class sizes, though the disparity in spending per student between the middle school and the elementary school raises questions about the equity of resource allocation across the district.
