Summary

School For Global Leaders is a public middle school located in New York City's District 1, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 180 students. The school has a history of fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 498 out of 1500 New York middle schools (3 stars) in 2024-2025 to 1073 out of 1438 (1 star) in 2017-2018. Despite its challenges, the school has some notable strengths, particularly in serving certain student subgroups and in specific subject areas.

One of the school's key strengths is its performance with certain student subgroups. School For Global Leaders ranks in the top quartile of New York middle schools for African American students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students. However, the school struggles with Asian students, ranking in the bottom quartile. Additionally, the school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in math, with 72.22% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 52.58% for the district and 46.74% for the state. The school also has strong performance in Algebra I, with 81.82% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district (68.7%) and state (56.07%) averages.

Despite these strengths, the school's overall academic performance is still below the district and state averages in several areas. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Tompkins Square Middle School and University Neighborhood Middle School, School For Global Leaders generally underperforms in English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. However, the school does outperform some of the nearby schools in certain subject areas, such as 8th-grade science. The school's high per-student spending of $36,411 in 2023-2024 and low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 suggest that factors beyond just resources may be contributing to its challenges, and a closer examination of the school's practices and strategies may be warranted to identify areas for improvement.
