Summary:
The city of East Elmhurst, New York is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across these schools, with Is 227 Louis Armstrong standing out as the top-performing school in the area. This middle school consistently ranks among the best in New York state, with exceptional test scores, Regents exam pass rates, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio.
While Ps 2 Alfred Zimberg is another high-performing elementary school, the data also reveals several struggling schools, such as Ps 127 Aerospace Science Magnet School and Ps 148, which have significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects. This suggests significant inequities in educational opportunities and resources within the New York City Geographic District #30.
The data also highlights the high-needs student population in East Elmhurst, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 67.8% to 94.06% across the schools. While higher per-pupil spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, the standout performance of Is 227 Louis Armstrong suggests that with the right strategies and resources, schools in this community can achieve strong results and prepare students for success.
