The district as a whole is ranked 642 out of 874 in New York state and has a 1-star rating, but there is a wide range of performance among the individual schools.

Several schools stand out in the district, including PS/IS 187 Hudson Cliffs, which is ranked 229 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and has a 5-star rating. Other high-performing schools include Washington Heights Academy, ranked 332 out of 2,445 elementary schools with a 4-star rating, and Muscota, ranked 263 out of 2,445 elementary schools with a 4-star rating. The district also has several middle schools, such as Mott Hall School (The), that are performing well.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district. For example, in 8th grade ELA, proficiency rates range from 16.67% to 90%. Additionally, the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic performance, suggesting that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in student outcomes. Addressing these challenges and supporting the highest-need schools will be critical for improving overall outcomes in New York City Geographic District # 6.
