Summary:

Zip code 13634 is home to a single elementary school, Dexter Elementary School, which serves grades PK-2 with a total enrollment of 322 students. The school is part of the General Brown Central School District, which is ranked 366 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dexter Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, declining from a 3-star rating in 2016-2017 to a 2-star rating in 2018-2019. This suggests the school may be underperforming compared to other elementary schools in New York. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1, which is lower than the national average of around 16 students per teacher. Additionally, the school spends a significant amount per student, at $20,828, which is much higher than the national average of around $12,000 per student.

One notable statistic is the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Dexter Elementary School, at 42.55% for the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school serves a population with significant economic need, which could present unique challenges in supporting the student population. Overall, while Dexter Elementary School has some positive attributes, such as a low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, the declining statewide ranking and high free/reduced lunch rates indicate areas that may require further investigation and potential improvement efforts by the district.
