SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,445 New York Elementary Schools

Better than 6% of New York elementary schools

Summary

Lexington Academy (The) is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in New York City's District 4, which is ranked 669 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has 482 students.

Lexington Academy (The) consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,855 and 2,293 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, ranking in the bottom quartile for female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and low-socioeconomic status students. Despite spending significantly more per student ($34,473 in 2023-2024) compared to the district and state averages, this does not translate to improved academic outcomes.

Within the same district, there are several elementary schools that significantly outperform Lexington Academy (The), such as Central Park East I, Ps 171 Patrick Henry, and Tag Young Scholars. These schools have much higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations. Lexington Academy (The)'s high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (98.13% in 2023-2024) and its declining performance over the past 10 years suggest the need for a comprehensive review and improvement strategy.
