Summary:
The 11414 zip code area in New York is home to 4 elementary schools, including 3 public schools and 1 public charter school. The data reveals significant performance disparities among these schools, with PS 207 Rockwood Park and PS 146 Howard Beach consistently outperforming the district and state averages on ELA and Math assessments, while Our World Neighborhood Charter School 2 lags behind.
The schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their free/reduced lunch rates, tend to have lower test scores and overall performance. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Additionally, the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios may contribute to the performance gaps observed, with PS 207 Rockwood Park, the highest-performing school, also having the highest spending per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio.
The data also highlights the underperformance of the public charter school, Our World Neighborhood Charter School 2, compared to the traditional public schools in the area. This finding underscores the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the charter school's lower academic outcomes and the potential implications for educational equity in the New York City Geographic District #27 and the Our World Neighborhood Charter School 2 district.
