Elementary Schools in New York City Geographic District #13

Summary:

New York City Geographic District #13 is home to 18 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. 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, indicating significant challenges and disparities in educational outcomes across the schools.

A few schools stand out as high-performing, including Ps 11 Purvis J Behan, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in New York with a 5-star rating and over 90% proficiency in ELA and Math. Emily Warren Roebling School (The) and Academy Of Arts And Letters are also high-performing, with 5-star and 4-star ratings respectively and strong test scores. In contrast, some schools struggle, with proficiency rates below 20% at schools like Ps 307 Daniel Hale Williams and Ps 93 William H Prescott.

The data reveals a wide range of free and reduced lunch rates, from as low as 14% at Emily Warren Roebling School (The) to as high as 97% at Ps 256 Benjamin Banneker and Ps 93 William H Prescott, suggesting significant socioeconomic diversity across the New York City Geographic District #13. However, the data does not show a clear relationship between per-student spending and academic outcomes, with some of the highest-spending schools having the lowest test scores.
