Summary:
The schools in zip code 11239 serve a diverse student population, with 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. This area faces challenges, with high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism, but some schools are standing out with stronger academic performance.
Frederick Douglass Academy VIII Middle School is a standout, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math among the middle schools, as well as the highest Regents exam pass rates. In contrast, IS 364 Gateway struggles with lower academic performance. PS 346 Abe Stark elementary school also stands out, with the highest Math proficiency rates in the data set, potentially due to its relatively high spending per student.
Overall, the schools in zip code 11239 serve a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population, with most performing below the New York City Geographic District #19 and statewide averages on state assessments and Regents exams. Addressing chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial in improving student outcomes across these schools.
