Summary:

The 13491 zip code area is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Mount Markham Elementary School, Mount Markham Senior High School, and Mount Markham Middle School. While the high school stands out as a strong performer, the middle and elementary schools face some academic challenges, potentially due to socioeconomic factors in the area.

Mount Markham Senior High School is the standout in the area, ranking 361 out of 1,234 New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels on Regents exams, with over 90% proficiency in Common Core Algebra II and over 80% proficiency in several other subjects. Additionally, the school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.5%.

In contrast, Mount Markham Middle School and Mount Markham Elementary School struggle to meet state and district averages on state assessments, with several grades performing below 50% proficiency in English Language Arts and Math. This disparity in academic performance may be linked to the higher percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at the middle and high schools, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the area served by the Mount Markham Central School District.
