Summary:
The 11433 zip code area in New York is home to 9 diverse schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. While the schools serve a community with high economic need, the data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance, with some schools like Queens High School For The Sciences At York College achieving exceptional results and others struggling to meet state and district averages.
The standout schools in the area include Queens High School For The Sciences At York College, which is ranked 10th out of 1,228 high schools in New York and has a 100% four-year graduation rate, as well as Ps/Is 268, an elementary/middle school that performs in the top 30% of New York elementary schools. York Early College Academy also stands out with its 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores and rankings. However, the success of the standout schools demonstrates the significant impact that strong school leadership, culture, and programming can have, even in economically disadvantaged areas. With the proximity of these schools within the New York City Geographic District #29 and New York City Geographic District #28, there is potential for collaboration, resource sharing, and the implementation of best practices to support the lower-performing schools and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the community.
