Summary:
The 11575 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve a predominantly minority student population and face significant challenges, with some notable exceptions.
The standout school in the area is Roosevelt Children's Academy Charter School, which outperforms the Roosevelt Children's Academy Charter School district and New York state on several key metrics, including proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, as well as Regents exam performance. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.5 may contribute to its stronger academic performance. Another standout is Centennial Avenue Elementary School, which has higher Math proficiency rates compared to the district and state, and the lowest student-teacher ratio of 9.7 among the schools in the area.
However, the majority of the schools in the 11575 zip code struggle with lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and concerning graduation and dropout rates, particularly at Roosevelt High School. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.5% to 59.07%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Addressing these underlying issues and providing targeted interventions could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students in this community.
