The 10 schools in zip code 10033 in New York City serve a diverse range of students from elementary to high school, with a mix of traditional public, charter, and alternative schools. While some schools, like School In The Square Public Charter School and Dos Puentes Elementary School, demonstrate stronger academic performance compared to district and state averages, there are significant gaps in proficiency, particularly in math, across the schools. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, ranging from 34.1% to 34.1% across the schools.
Per-student spending varies widely, from $18,421 to $36,831, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation. The higher-spending schools, like School In The Square Public Charter School, may be able to provide more services and supports. Interestingly, the charter school and alternative school, Washington Heights Expeditionary Learning School, appear to outperform the traditional public elementary and middle schools on many metrics, potentially due to factors like curriculum, teaching methods, or school culture.
Overall, the schools in zip code 10033 serve a high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 65.32% to 95.73%. While some schools are demonstrating stronger performance, there is room for improvement, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps in math.
