Summary:
The 14 schools in zip code 11385 serve a diverse range of students, from elementary to high school, and are part of the New York City Geographic District #24. While the district as a whole is ranked 528 out of 865 in New York and has a 2-star rating, a few standout schools in the area, such as Ps/Is 119 Glendale (The) and Ace Academy For Scholars At The Geraldine Ferraro Campus, are ranked among the top elementary schools in the state and have consistently high test scores.
On the other hand, some schools in the area, like Joseph F Quinn Intermediate School 77 and Ps 239, struggle to meet proficiency standards, highlighting the significant variation in academic performance across the schools. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student demographics, play a crucial role in student outcomes.
The data also reveals high levels of economic disadvantage in the area, with many schools having a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This, coupled with the high chronic absenteeism rate at Grover Cleveland High School, suggests that the district and community may need to focus on addressing these challenges to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
