Best Public Schools in Zip Code 10026

Summary:

The 10026 zip code area of New York City is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population, with a wide range of academic performance and socioeconomic challenges.

The standout schools in the area are the Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 1 and Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 4, which have exceptional test scores and academic outcomes. In contrast, traditional public schools like Wadleigh Perf And Visual Arts and Frederick Douglass Academy II Secondary School have lower test scores and rankings, but maintain relatively high graduation rates. The Sisulu-Walker Charter School Of Harlem also stands out as a high-performing elementary charter school.

The data reveals a wide disparity in academic performance across the schools, with some, like Harlem Hebrew Language Academy Charter School and STEM Institute of Manhattan, struggling with very low proficiency rates on state assessments. Additionally, the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (66.9% to 92.4%) across all the schools highlight the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population in this area.
