Best Public Schools in Zip Code 10034

Summary:

The 10034 zip code area of New York City is home to 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The schools in this area serve a predominantly Hispanic student population and exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout high-achieving schools as well as lower-performing institutions facing significant challenges.

Two elementary/middle schools stand out as exceptional performers: Washington Heights Academy and Muscota. These schools rank in the top 15% and top 10% of New York elementary schools, respectively, with strong test scores and low chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, schools like PS 5 Ellen Lurie and Harold O Levy School struggle, with only 7-25% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math.

The data reveals a clear correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the higher-performing schools serving more affluent student populations. This suggests significant inequities in educational opportunities and resources available to students in the 10034 zip code area. Addressing these disparities will require a comprehensive approach to ensure all students in the region have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their background or the school they attend.
