Summary:
The 13652 zip code area is home to two schools - Edwards-Knox Elementary School and Edwards-Knox Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Edwards-Knox Central School District. While the elementary school appears to be underperforming compared to state averages, the junior-senior high school stands out as a strong performer, ranking 208 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The junior-senior high school boasts impressive Regents exam proficiency rates, exceeding the state average in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History. Its 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is also above the state average. In contrast, the elementary school lags behind state averages on the NY State Assessments in both English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. This stark performance difference between the two schools suggests potential areas for improvement and closer examination of instructional practices and resource allocation at the elementary level.
Both schools serve a student population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by their relatively high free/reduced lunch rates of over 55%. However, the schools appear to be allocating resources effectively, with relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending at the high school level, which may be a contributing factor to the junior-senior high school's strong performance. Tracking the schools' progress over time, as shown by the high school's improvement from a 3-star to a 4-star rating, can provide valuable insights into the factors driving student success.
