Summary:
The 14094 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, spread across the Lockport City School District and the Starpoint Central School District. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two districts, with the Starpoint schools, particularly Starpoint High School, demonstrating significantly higher test scores, graduation rates, and other key metrics compared to their Lockport counterparts.
Starpoint High School stands out as a high-performing school, ranking 113 out of 1,234 high schools in New York and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts exceptional test scores, with proficiency rates above 90% in many subject areas, and a 95%+ graduation rate. Another standout is Regan Intermediate School, a 3rd-5th grade elementary school in the Starpoint district, which has strong academic performance with proficiency rates above the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Math.
In contrast, the schools in the Lockport City School District face more challenges, with lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher rates of chronic absenteeism. The data suggests that socioeconomic factors, such as the significantly higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the Lockport schools, may be contributing to these performance gaps. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending, from $19,228 to $29,270, raises questions about how resources are being allocated and whether funding is equitably distributed across the districts.
