Elementary Schools in New York City Geographic District #12

Summary:

The 21 elementary schools located in New York City Geographic District #12 serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 771 out of 865 in New York state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in academic performance across the area.

However, a few schools in the district stand out as performing better than their peers. Ps 66 School Of Higher Expectations and Samara Community School have consistently high proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. Additionally, Bronx Little School has shown significant improvement over time, with its statewide ranking increasing from 2061 in 2021-2022 to 1355 in 2023-2024.

Despite the presence of these standout schools, the data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the district. Many schools struggle with low proficiency rates, and there does not appear to be a clear correlation between higher spending per student, lower student-teacher ratios, and better academic outcomes. This suggests that systemic issues beyond individual school-level factors may be contributing to the persistent challenges facing the district as a whole.
