As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote For those that don't know, Manhattan Village Academy is amongst the TOP HIGH SCHOOLS in NYC. Currently, the aforementioned principal is on leave. However, my daughter's experience there has been astronomical including her writing, speech and maturity levels. They help develop strong respect and personalities. We came from a highly gifted JHS and commute daily from Brooklyn to NYC for this school and we couldn't be happier with her progress. The teachers and assistant principal and staff are all very caring, communicative, approachable and easy to talk to and they are all so eager to make sure our children aspire! It's truly been a wonderful experience being accepted into Manhattan Village Academy! Close Quote

Open Quote PLEASE do your research before sending your child to this school. Read reviews and comments made by teachers, students, etc. In the school open house, Principal Geager paints a pretty picture to parents, but you will soon learn its all lies. All he cares about is making himself look good. He doesn't help students, motivate or encourage but likes to pick and bully them. His staff is afraid of him; he disrespects the teachers, curses at both students/teachers, performs a lot of illegal actions and continues to get away with it. You have some hard working teachers, but the Principal Geager and Administrative staff (who follows his orders) is so corrupt, that it should deter you from even thinking about placing your child in this school. If you want your child to have a good high school experience, DON'T SEND THEM HERE! Just two weeks ago, a child committed suicide during her lunch period due to bullying from students. As a Principal who claims to know everything, he should have done something about it. The problem here is he’s the MAIN CULPRIT!

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
