Summary:
The 10465 zip code area of the Bronx, New York is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area serve a high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 64% to 90%, there are stark differences in academic performance across the schools.
The standout schools in this area are Middle School 101 Edward R Byrne and Ps 304 Early Childhood School. Middle School 101 consistently ranks in the top 25% of New York middle schools, with exceptional test scores and 100% proficiency rates on several Regents exams. Ps 304 Early Childhood School is also a strong performer, ranking in the top 25-30% of New York elementary schools with impressive test scores.
In contrast, other schools in the area, such as Mott Hall Community School, struggle with lower test scores and rankings. This wide gap in academic performance suggests significant inequities in educational opportunities and resources across the schools in the New York City Geographic District # 8. Addressing these disparities and identifying ways to replicate the success of the top-performing schools could have a meaningful impact on the educational outcomes for students in this community.
