Summary:
The 11232 zip code area of Brooklyn, New York is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the New York City Geographic District #15. While the district is ranked 394 out of 865 in the state, there is a stark contrast in performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in this area.
The standout school is Ps 172 Beacon School Of Excellence, an elementary school that has consistently ranked among the top 7-87 elementary schools in New York state over the past 3 years, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school has exceptional test scores, with 93-100% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, some of the lower-performing schools in the data set include Is 136 Charles O Dewey and Ps 24, which have ranked in the bottom 1,325-1,872 out of 2,445 elementary/middle schools in the state and have 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
Across the schools, there are notable differences in metrics such as graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores. While the high-performing schools excel in these areas, the lower-performing schools struggle, with Sunset Park High School reporting a 34.1% chronic absenteeism rate and 10-30% proficiency on state assessments. The high rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by free/reduced lunch eligibility, likely play a significant role in the academic outcomes of these schools, and targeted interventions and resources may be needed to support students from low-income backgrounds.
