Summary:

The 14905 zip code in New York is home to a single middle school, Ernie Davis Academy, which serves grades 6-8. Despite spending $23,561 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic performance consistently ranks in the bottom 5% of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates significantly below state averages across all subjects and grade levels.

Ernie Davis Academy has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, indicating a persistent struggle with academic achievement. The school's 7th-grade proficiency rates in 2024-2025 were only 21.88% in ELA and 16.67% in math, compared to state averages of 50.99% and 41.99%, respectively. Additionally, 65.62% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, the data suggests that Ernie Davis Academy is not effectively utilizing its resources to improve student outcomes. The school's consistently poor performance and stark disparities in proficiency rates compared to the state and Elmira City School District highlight the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices and resource allocation to identify and address the root causes of its challenges.
