New York City Geographic District # 6


Summary:

New York City Geographic District #6 is home to 45 schools, including 25 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 10 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district encompasses a diverse range of academic performance, with some standout schools like Ps/Is 187 Hudson Cliffs and Muscota ranking among the top in the city, while others struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism.

The district's top-performing schools, Ps/Is 187 Hudson Cliffs and Muscota, both earn high rankings and strong ratings from SchoolDigger, with 78-87% of students proficient in ELA and Math. Another standout, Mott Hall School (The), is a highly-ranked middle school with exceptional test scores. However, the district also includes struggling schools like Ps 5 Ellen Lurie, where only 7-36% of students meet state standards.

Overall, District #6 exhibits significant disparities in academic performance, with high-poverty schools facing greater challenges. While some schools excel, the district's average 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% suggest the need for targeted interventions to address these systemic issues and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
