New York City Geographic District #23

Summary:

New York City Geographic District #23 is home to 28 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 6 high schools, serving a diverse student population in the Brownsville and East New York neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

The district has a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools. Brooklyn Landmark Elementary School and Brownsville Collaborative Middle School stand out as top performers, ranking in the top 15% and 20% of New York schools respectively. These schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, PS 156 Waverly and PS 298 Dr Betty Shabazz struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state.

Chronic absenteeism is a major issue across the district, with several schools reporting rates over 50%, including Metropolitan Diploma Plus High School at 90%. Additionally, graduation rates vary widely, from 89.2% at Eagle Academy For Young Men II to just 2.5% at Brooklyn Democracy Academy. These disparities highlight the need for targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the academic and attendance challenges faced by some schools in New York City Geographic District #23.
