Summary:

The 13605 zip code area is home to a single middle school, Clarke Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. As the only middle school in this geographic region, Clarke Middle School is the primary educational option for families in the 13605 zip code.

Clarke Middle School is part of the South Jefferson Central School District, which is ranked 428 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has improved in recent years, going from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. Student performance on state assessments is mixed, with some areas of academic excellence, such as high proficiency rates on Regents exams and 8th grade science assessments, but also room for improvement in ELA and 7th grade math.

With a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 45.3%, Clarke Middle School serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending suggest it is working to support its student population, but continued focus on addressing any achievement gaps could be beneficial to further improve the school's overall performance and statewide ranking.
