Summary:

New York City Geographic District #18 contains 34 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 13 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 551 out of 874 in New York state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out as performing well compared to the district and state averages. PS 244 Richard R Green, an elementary school, ranked 507 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and is rated 4 stars. Brooklyn Science And Engineering Academy, a middle school, ranked 330 out of 1,500 New York middle schools and is also rated 4 stars. At the high school level, Brooklyn Bridge Academy ranked 269 out of 1,234 New York high schools and is rated 4 stars.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the district. Proficiency rates on state assessments range widely, from 40% to nearly 97% in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math. Graduation rates are on par with the citywide average at 84.3%, but dropout rates vary greatly from 4.5% to as high as 31.5%. Per-student spending ranges from $27,399 to $51,447, with no clear correlation between funding and academic outcomes. These findings suggest uneven educational opportunities and the need for targeted interventions to ensure all students in the district receive a high-quality education.
