Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14517


Summary:

The 14517 zip code area is home to 3 schools spanning different grade levels - Dalton-Nunda Elementary School, Dalton-Nunda Secondary School, and Dalton-Nunda Middle School, all part of the Dalton-Nunda Central School District (Keshequa). While the high school has shown improvement in its statewide ranking and outperforms the state and district averages in several Regents exam subjects, the elementary and middle schools generally underperform the state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency.

The Dalton-Nunda Secondary School (high school) stands out, with a 3-star rating, a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, and a low dropout rate of 4.5%. In contrast, the Dalton-Nunda Middle School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 469th out of 1,407 in 2014-2015 to 983rd out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, despite maintaining a 2-star rating and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.9.

Across all three schools, a significant percentage of students, ranging from 40.91% to 43.95%, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools and the district, highlighting the importance of targeted support and resources for these students.
