Elementary Schools in New York City Geographic District #26

Summary:

New York City Geographic District #26 contains 23 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district is located in the northeastern part of Queens and is known for its strong academic performance, with many schools ranking among the top in the state.

Several schools in the district stand out as exceptional performers, including PS 203 Oakland Gardens, PS 188 Kingsbury, PS 94 David D Porter, PS 98 Douglaston School (The), and PS 205 Alexander Graham Bell. These schools rank among the top 65, 95, 53, 48, and 183 elementary schools in New York state, respectively, and demonstrate exceptional academic performance with proficiency rates over 90% in English Language Arts and math.

While the district as a whole performs well above the state average, there is a range in performance across the schools. Some schools struggle to reach even the state proficiency levels, suggesting opportunities for the higher-performing schools to share best practices and for the district to provide targeted support to the lower-performing schools. Factors beyond just resources, such as effective policies and practices, appear to be driving the success of the top-performing schools in the district.
