Summary:

New York City Geographic District #17 contains 48 schools, including 22 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, and 17 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 565 out of 874 in New York state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their strong academic performance. PS 249 Caton (The) and PS 770 New American Academy are two high-performing elementary schools, ranked 259 and 444 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools respectively, and both rated 4 out of 5 stars. At the middle school level, The School Of Integrated Learning and Ebbets Field Middle School also stand out, ranked 241 and 375 out of 1,500 New York middle schools and both rated 4 out of 5 stars.

However, the district also faces some challenges. The overall 4-year high school graduation rate is 84.3%, on par with the state average, but the dropout rate is 4.5%, slightly higher. Chronic absenteeism is a concern at 31.5% across the district. While some schools post very strong test scores, the district's overall proficiency rates trail the state averages. Addressing these issues will be key priorities for improving outcomes across District #17.
