Summary:
The 14891 zip code area is home to two schools - Watkins Glen Elementary School and Watkins Glen Central High School, both part of the Watkins Glen Central School District. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be performing below average compared to state-wide standards, with both the elementary and high school struggling to meet proficiency targets in key academic areas.
At the elementary school, proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math range from 28.57% to 51.85%, falling short of the state averages of 50-56% and 51-60% respectively. Science proficiency in 5th grade is also below the state average at 37.1%. The high school exhibits a mixed performance, with some Regents exam subjects exceeding state averages while others, such as Geometry and Chemistry, fall behind. Additionally, the high school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which may be impacting academic achievement.
Despite the district spending significantly more per student ($29,633 for the elementary school and $31,778 for the high school) compared to the state average, this increased funding does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The schools also serve a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, which is often correlated with lower academic performance. Overall, the data suggests the schools in the 14891 zip code area could benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and better support the educational needs of the community.
