New York City Geographic District #26


Summary:

New York City Geographic District #26 is a highly-ranked school district in Queens, serving 34 schools across 23 elementary, 5 middle, and 6 high school campuses. The district as a whole is ranked 182 out of 865 districts in New York and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out as top performers, including Junior High School 216 George J Ryan, a middle school ranked 119 out of 1,504 in the state with exceptional test scores, and two elite elementary schools, PS 203 Oakland Gardens and PS 41 Crocheron, which are ranked 69 and 55 out of 2,445 elementary schools respectively. These top-tier schools demonstrate the potential for excellence within the New York City Geographic District #26.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in school performance within the district. While the high schools maintain a respectable 84.3% four-year graduation rate on average, some struggle with lower proficiency rates on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, and Physics. This suggests a need to strengthen academic programs at these schools. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the highest-performing schools tending to have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
