Summary:
The middle schools located in New York City Geographic District #32 serve a diverse student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage across the schools. While there are some standout performers, the data reveals significant gaps in academic achievement between the top and lower-performing schools in the district.
Junior High School 383 Philippa Schuyler emerges as the top-performing school, with students consistently outperforming district and state averages in both ELA and math. In contrast, Junior High School 291 Roland Hayes and IS 347 School Of Humanities lag behind, with significantly lower proficiency rates. The data also suggests that simply increasing spending per student may not be the sole solution, as the school with the highest spending, IS 347 School Of Humanities, is among the lowest-performing.
Despite the challenges faced by these schools, the data also highlights the potential for improvement, as seen with Evergreen Middle School For Urban Exploration, which has shown consistent progress in recent years. This suggests that with the right strategies and interventions, even the lowest-performing schools in the district can make strides in improving student outcomes and providing equitable access to quality education for all students.
