Elementary Schools in New York City Geographic District #12

Summary:

The 21 elementary schools located in New York City Geographic District #12 serve grades ranging from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade, with student populations varying significantly from 183 to 838. While the majority of these schools face challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a few standout institutions are outperforming their peers and the state averages.

Among the top-performing schools in the district are Ps 66 School Of Higher Expectations, Samara Community School, Urban Scholars Community School, and Bronx Little School. These schools consistently demonstrate high proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, often outperforming the district and state averages by a significant margin. Factors such as higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios may contribute to the success of these standout institutions.

In contrast, the majority of schools in the district struggle to meet state proficiency standards, highlighting the significant challenges facing this high-need area. The data reveals a wide performance gap between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, both within the district and compared to state averages. Addressing these disparities and improving student outcomes across the district remains a critical priority for educators and policymakers.
