Summary:

The 13478 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area show a mix of performance, Vernon-Verona-Sherrill Senior High School stands out as a relatively strong performer, consistently ranking in the top 40% of New York high schools over the past 3 years.

The high school has strong proficiency rates on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and Global History. However, the school also faces challenges, with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% and a lower 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% compared to state averages. In contrast, J.D. George Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and struggles to meet state proficiency levels on 3rd-6th grade ELA and math assessments.

Overall, the schools in the Sherrill City School District spend around $22,000-$23,000 per student, which is higher than the state average, and have relatively small class sizes. The presence of a Madison-Oneida BOCES alternative school in the area also provides opportunities for collaboration and support for struggling students.
