Summary:
The 7 middle schools located in New York City Geographic District #18 serve students in grades 6-8 and showcase a range of academic performance. While some schools, like Brooklyn Science And Engineering Academy and IS 211 John Wilson, stand out with high rankings, strong state assessment scores, and 100% proficiency on key Regents exams, other schools in the district struggle to achieve similar levels of success.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. Brooklyn Science And Engineering Academy, ranked 311 out of 1,504 New York middle schools, and IS 211 John Wilson, ranked 555, demonstrate the potential for academic excellence in the district. In contrast, IS 68 Isaac Bildersee and Middle School Of Media Law And Fine Arts (The) have significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments.
Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with all schools having a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. This suggests that the district may be facing challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Further investigation into resource allocation, teaching quality, and other factors that contribute to the performance gaps could help identify areas for improvement and ensure that all students in New York City Geographic District #18 have access to a high-quality education.
