Summary:
The 13475 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Owen D Young Central School, which serves grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 174 students. While the school faces challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, it also demonstrates areas of strength, including strong performance on certain state assessments and Regents exams.
Owen D Young Central School had a 84.3% four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year, which is a positive indicator. However, the school also had a 4.9% dropout rate, suggesting room for improvement in student retention. The school's performance on state assessments was variable, with 8th grade students excelling in ELA and science but struggling in other grade levels and subjects. Notably, the school's Regents exam scores were above the state average in several subjects, including Common Core ELA, Earth Science, and U.S. History and Government.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students (69.54%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 6.6 to 1 suggests that it may be able to provide more individualized attention and support to its students. Overall, while Owen D Young Central School faces some obstacles, it also demonstrates pockets of academic excellence, particularly in certain subject areas and Regents exams, which may be a result of its specialized instructional approach and small class sizes.
