Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14572

Summary:

The 14572 zip code area is home to 3 schools that span elementary, middle, and high school grades, all part of the Wayland-Cohocton Central School District. While the district is ranked 595 out of 874 in New York and has a 2-star rating, some of the individual schools show promising performance, particularly Wayland-Cohocton High School, which ranks in the top half of high schools in the state and has a graduation rate above the state average.

Wayland-Cohocton High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a higher state ranking, better graduation rates, and stronger Regents exam results compared to the other schools in the area. Wayland-Cohocton Middle School also shows some bright spots, particularly in its Regents exam performance, where it exceeds the district and state averages in several subjects. However, Wayland Elementary School has proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are generally below the state average.

Across all three schools, a significant percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into consistently strong outcomes for all students. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the challenges faced by these schools and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
