New York City Geographic District #23

Summary:

New York City Geographic District #23 contains 28 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 6 high schools, serving students in the Brownsville and East New York neighborhoods of Brooklyn. The schools in this district vary widely in their academic performance and student demographics, with some standout schools as well as those facing significant challenges.

Among the highest performing schools in the district are Brooklyn Landmark Elementary School, which consistently scores well above the district and state averages on ELA and math assessments, with over 75% of students proficient or better in many grade levels. The middle schools IS 392 and Brownsville Collaborative Middle School also stand out, with high proficiency rates and strong performance on Regents exams.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing many of the schools in the district, particularly the high-poverty high schools. Graduation rates at the high schools hover around 84%, slightly below the state average, and chronic absenteeism rates are high, around 31.5%. Test scores at the lower-performing schools are well below the district and state averages, highlighting the stark disparities in academic achievement across the district. Addressing these disparities and supporting the lowest-performing schools will be critical to improving educational outcomes for all students in New York City Geographic District #23.
