A few schools stand out in the district, including PS 171 Patrick Henry, an exceptional elementary school ranked 110 out of 2,445 in New York with a 5-star rating and 100% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA and Math. Another high-performing elementary school is TAG Young Scholars, ranked 8 out of 2,445 with near-perfect proficiency rates.

The data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance across the district, with high-poverty schools generally underperforming compared to their more affluent counterparts. Addressing these inequities, particularly in the district's middle schools, will be crucial for improving overall outcomes.
