Summary:
The 14042 zip code has only one school, Delevan Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Yorkshire-Pioneer Central School District. While the school's 4th grade students outperform the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics, the 3rd grade students lag behind the state in these subjects. With over 55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Delevan Elementary serves a relatively high-need population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance compared to the state.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($24,271) and low student-teacher ratio (10.7), its overall performance has been consistently in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating in the past two school years and a 2-star rating in the current school year. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be influencing student outcomes at Delevan Elementary School.
While the single school in the 14042 zip code faces some challenges, particularly in its 3rd grade academic performance and the socioeconomic factors of its student population, the school's higher-than-average spending and staffing levels, as well as its stronger 4th grade results, suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and interventions.
