Summary:

New York City Geographic District #13 contains 41 schools, including 18 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 15 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 617 out of 874 in New York state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several schools stand out as high-performing within the district, including Brooklyn Technical High School, which is ranked 16th out of 1,234 high schools in New York state and has a 5-star rating. Other top-performing schools are PS 11 Purvis J Behan, The Emily Warren Roebling School, and Bridges: A School For Exploration And Equity, all of which have 5-star ratings and exceptional proficiency rates on state assessments.

However, the district as a whole is struggling, with the majority of schools performing below state averages. There is a wide range of performance, with the highest-performing schools demonstrating that high achievement is possible, even within a low-performing district. Addressing the disparities and systemic challenges will require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique needs and contexts of each school.
