Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11372

Summary:

The 11372 zip code area of Jackson Heights, New York is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in the area, suggesting that students may not have equal access to quality education.

Among the standout schools, Is 230 is a middle school that has consistently ranked among the top in New York, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Math. Ps 69 Jackson Heights, an elementary school, has also performed well, ranking in the top quarter of New York elementary schools.
