Summary

Is 339 is a public middle school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 175 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 750 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Is 339 has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1052-1459 out of around 1500 middle schools statewide.

Is 339 consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state in standardized test scores across English Language Arts (ELA), Math, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.59% of 6th graders, 24.56% of 7th graders, and 25.42% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 32.43%, 38.71%, and 41.35%, respectively, and the state's 50.86%, 50.99%, and 52.38%. However, the school ranks in the top 25% of New York middle schools for English Language Learners and Special Education students, indicating it may be providing effective support for these populations.

Is 339 has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.43% to 96.71% over the past few years, suggesting the school serves a predominantly low-income student population. The school also has relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $32,835 to $52,839 over the past few years, which is significantly above the district and state averages. When comparing Is 339 to other middle schools in the same district and nearby districts, the school generally underperforms its peers, such as Mott Hall III, which outperforms Is 339 across multiple academic measures and has a higher statewide ranking.
