Some standout schools in the district include Ps/Middle School 4 Crotona Park West, which ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and Science And Technology Academy: A Mott Hall School, a high-performing middle school. Other strong performers are Grant Avenue Elementary School and Ps 42 Claremont, which has an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio.
