Summary:

New York City Geographic District # 4 contains 29 schools, including 18 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 7 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 669 out of 874 in New York state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

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. In contrast, many schools in the district struggle, with proficiency rates below 50% in several subjects.

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. However, the presence of exceptional schools like PS 171 Patrick Henry and TAG Young Scholars demonstrates that high achievement is possible with the right resources and strategies, providing a model for the rest of the district to emulate.
