The district is home to several standout schools, such as Ps 96 Richard Rodgers, an exceptional elementary school that ranks 275th out of 2,439 New York elementary schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars. Other high-performing elementary schools include Baychester Academy and Steam Bridge School (The), which also earn 4-star ratings and demonstrate strong student proficiency in English Language Arts and Math. However, many other schools in the district struggle with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and other challenges, particularly those serving a higher percentage of students from low-income backgrounds.
