Summary:
The 14706 zip code in New York is home to two schools, both part of the Allegany-Limestone Central School District. While the district is ranked 343 out of 874 in the state, the standout school in this area is Allegany-Limestone Middle-High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 20-25% of New York high schools over the past 3 years and maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Allegany-Limestone Middle-High School boasts strong academic performance, with proficiency rates above the state and district averages in most subject areas and grade levels. The school has a relatively low dropout rate of 4.5% and a solid 84.3% 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, Allegany-Limestone Elementary School has a more average performance, with a current ranking of 776 out of 2,445 elementary schools in New York and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data also reveals potential equity concerns, as both schools have relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the middle-high school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which can be a concern for student engagement and academic outcomes. However, the middle-high school spends significantly more per student ($29,096) compared to the elementary school ($22,571), which may contribute to the stronger academic performance at the secondary level.
