Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13440

Summary:

The 13440 zip code area in Rome, New York is home to 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Rome City School District. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out as performing better than others.

Ridge Mills Elementary School is the highest-ranked elementary school in the district, with a statewide ranking of 1254 out of 2445 and a 2-star rating. It boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across multiple grade levels. John E Joy Elementary School and Stokes Elementary School also stand out with relatively high proficiency rates, particularly in 5th grade English Language Arts and 4th grade Math.

However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Gansevoort Elementary and Bellamy Elementary. This suggests that students in the district may not be receiving equitable educational opportunities. The schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to struggle the most with proficiency, highlighting the additional challenges faced by high-poverty schools. Addressing these disparities and supporting the lower-performing schools should be a priority for the Rome City School District.
