Summary:

New York City Geographic District #1 is home to 26 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 7 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and encompasses several neighborhoods in lower Manhattan, including the Lower East Side and East Village.

The district is home to several standout schools, including New Explorations Into Sciencetech And Math High School, which boasts exceptional academic performance with 99-100% proficiency rates on state assessments. Another top performer is PS 184 Shuang Wen, an elementary/middle school that ranks in the top 5% of New York elementary schools with very high proficiency rates, especially in math. The East Village Community School is also a strong performer, ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. Graduation rates range from 84.3% to 84.3%, and proficiency rates on state assessments vary widely, from as low as 0-10% at some struggling schools to over 95-100% at the top-performing schools. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with rates ranging from 31.5% to 31.5%. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the inequities and ensure all students in New York City Geographic District #1 have access to a high-quality education.
