Summary:

New York City Geographic District #3 contains 42 schools, including 19 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, 14 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students across a range of grade levels. The district as a whole is ranked 507 out of 874 in New York state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within this district, a few schools stand out as high-performing, including The Anderson School, Middle School 245 Computer School, PS 87 William Sherman, PS 166 Richard Rogers School Of The Arts & Science, and PS 199 Jessie Isador Straus. These schools have exceptional test scores, with 70-100% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.

However, the district also contains a mix of low-performing schools, with proficiency rates as low as 10-20% on Regents exams at the high school level. There appears to be a strong correlation between student socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the highest-performing schools have the lowest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Spending per student does not necessarily translate to better outcomes, as some of the highest-spending schools have relatively low proficiency rates compared to their lower-spending counterparts. Overall, New York City Geographic District #3 demonstrates a wide range of school quality, with a few standout institutions driving the district's performance.
