Best Public Schools in Zip Code 10038

Summary:

The 10038 zip code in New York City is home to 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 4 high schools. This diverse set of schools serves students across various grade levels and socioeconomic backgrounds, with notable differences in academic performance and student demographics.

The top-performing schools in the area are Peck Slip School (The), an elementary school ranking in the top 10% of New York elementary schools, and PS 126 Jacob August Riis, a combined elementary/middle school in the top 15%. These schools boast high proficiency rates in ELA and Math, outpacing district and state averages. In contrast, some of the high schools, such as Urban Assembly School For Emergency Management (The) and Murry Bergtraum High School For Business Careers, struggle with low proficiency rates below 50%.

The schools in the 10038 zip code also vary significantly in their student demographics, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 14.77% at Peck Slip School to 85.58% at Murry Bergtraum High School. This wide range suggests that the area serves students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the data indicates a clear correlation between student socioeconomic status and academic outcomes, with the higher-performing schools tending to have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Interestingly, per-student spending does not appear to be a strong predictor of school performance, as the school with the highest spending, Murry Bergtraum High School, has some of the lowest test scores and proficiency rates.
