New York City Geographic District # 5

Summary:

New York City Geographic District #5 is home to 28 schools, including 16 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 9 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 710 out of 865 in New York state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating there is significant room for improvement in student outcomes across the district.

A few schools stand out in the data set, including Columbia Secondary School, a public magnet high school ranked 102 out of 1,242 high schools in New York state with a 5-star rating, and High School Mathematics Science and Engineering at CCNY, which is ranked 7 out of 1,242 high schools and also has a 5-star rating. These specialized schools demonstrate that targeted programs can be effective in boosting student performance. In contrast, the district's graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism rates show little variation, suggesting systemic challenges that impact many schools.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and resources across the district. For example, 8th grade math proficiency rates range from 0% to 75%, and per-student spending varies from $13,637 to $64,545. These gaps likely contribute to the overall low ranking of the district and indicate a need for more equitable funding and targeted interventions to support the lowest-performing schools and students.
