Summary:
The 14525 zip code area is home to two schools - Pavilion Junior-Senior High School and D B Bunce Elementary School, both part of the Pavilion Central School District. While Pavilion Junior-Senior High School has consistently ranked in the top 20-25% of New York high schools with strong academic performance, D B Bunce Elementary School has struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools.
Pavilion Junior-Senior High School stands out with its 84.3% 4-year graduation rate, low 4.5% dropout rate, and proficiency rates above the state average in most subject areas. The school spends a relatively high $30,961 per student and maintains a low 6:1 student-teacher ratio. In contrast, D B Bunce Elementary School lags behind the state and district averages on 3rd-5th grade assessments, spending only $29,477 per student with a higher 7.9:1 student-teacher ratio.
The stark performance differences between the two schools suggest they may be serving very different student populations or have vastly different resource levels and educational approaches. The relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools (over 30%) also raise questions about educational equity and access to quality resources in the 14525 zip code area. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand the drivers behind these disparities and identify opportunities to improve outcomes, especially at the lower-performing D B Bunce Elementary School.
