Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13624

Summary:

The 13624 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Thousand Islands Central School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with the middle and high schools consistently ranking among the top 15-20% of their respective school types in New York state over the past 3 years.

Thousand Islands High School stands out with its impressive academic performance, including 100% proficiency rates in several Regents exams and a high graduation rate of 84.3%. Similarly, Thousand Islands Middle School also demonstrates exceptional performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates exceeding the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Math for grades 6-8.

In contrast, Guardino Elementary School has more mixed performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 40-64% in ELA and Math. However, the district as a whole appears to prioritize equitable resource allocation, with relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios across all three schools, which may contribute to the strong academic performance observed at the middle and high school levels.
