Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12887

Summary:

The 12887 zip code area is home to two schools - Whitehall Elementary School and Whitehall Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Whitehall Central School District. While the junior-senior high school is performing reasonably well, the elementary school is struggling with low test scores, declining statewide rankings, and high levels of economic disadvantage.

Whitehall Elementary School has relatively low test scores compared to state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 6% to 41.67% in ELA and 14.29% to 36.59% in Math across different grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, and it has a high percentage of students (62.61%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. In contrast, Whitehall Junior-Senior High School has generally higher test scores, with proficiency rates ranging from 43.1% to 81.13% on various Regents exams, and its statewide ranking has remained relatively stable.

The data suggests a stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools. While the high school generally performs better on Regents exams, the elementary school lags significantly behind state averages in ELA and Math proficiency. Additionally, the high school has a four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is lower than the state average, and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
