Summary

Is 211 John Wilson is a public middle school in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 217 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #18, which is ranked 551 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Is 211 John Wilson has shown mixed academic performance compared to the district and state averages. While the school's 8th-grade math and Algebra I proficiency rates are higher than the district and state, its ELA and science proficiency rates are generally lower. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with a high of 4 stars from SchoolDigger in the 2020-2021 school year and a low of 1 star in the 2018-2019 school year. However, certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, have performed better than the overall school, ranking in the top 25% of New York middle schools in some years.

Comparing Is 211 John Wilson to nearby schools, such as Is 68 Isaac Bildersee, Is 285 Meyer Levin, and Lenox Academy, reveals that these schools have generally performed better on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and higher SchoolDigger rankings. Lenox Academy, in particular, stands out as a high-performing school, ranking in the top 10% of New York middle schools in recent years. While the nearby schools also have a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, this suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the academic performance differences.
