New York City Geographic District #29

New York City Geographic District #29 contains 46 schools, including 28 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 11 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 574 out of 865 in New York state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out as high-performers, including PS 95 Eastwood, PS 131 Abigail Adams, and PS 176 Cambria Heights. These elementary schools have consistently ranked among the top 400 to 900 in the state over the past 3 years and demonstrate exceptional student performance in both English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, many other schools in the district struggle to meet state and district averages in these subjects.

The data reveals significant disparities in funding and student-teacher ratios across the schools in the district, which may contribute to the wide range in student outcomes. Schools with the highest per-student spending tend to be the highest-performing, suggesting a potential link between resources and academic achievement. Additionally, the district's high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.57% to 87.06%, indicate that many schools face the challenges of serving a high-poverty student population, which likely impacts their performance.
