The 14837 zip code area is home to a single public high school, Dundee Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and has an enrollment of 277 students. The school's performance is mixed, with some strengths but also areas for improvement.
Dundee Junior-Senior High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. The school excels in certain Regents exam subjects like Chemistry, Physics, and US History, with proficiency rates exceeding both district and state averages. However, the school struggles in 7th and 8th grade ELA and Math, with proficiency rates below the district and state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance in some areas.
Despite the challenges, Dundee Junior-Senior High School maintains a respectable four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is above the state average.

The school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 54.87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the district is investing significant resources into the school, with a spending per student of $33,433, the academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of spending.
