Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14470


Summary:

The 14470 zip code area is home to two schools, Holley Elementary School and Holley Junior Senior High School, both part of the Holley Central School District. While Holley Elementary shows promising performance in the lower grades, the upper grades struggle, and Holley Junior Senior High has seen improvements in its statewide ranking but faces challenges with chronic absenteeism and mixed academic performance.

At Holley Elementary School, 3rd and 4th grade students outperform the state average in both English Language Arts and Math, but proficiency rates drop significantly in 5th and 6th grade. The school has a high percentage of students (58.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high-need student population. In contrast, Holley Junior Senior High School has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 752nd out of 1,228 New York high schools in 2022-2023 to 579th out of 1,234 in 2024-2025. However, the school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Holley Elementary School at 10.8 and Holley Junior Senior High School at 9.3, and they also spend more per student than the state average, with Holley Elementary School spending $23,967 and Holley Junior Senior High School spending $28,312 per student. These factors suggest a need to investigate the factors contributing to the decline in student achievement as they progress through the school system and address the high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school level.
