Summary

Central Park East II is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in New York City's District 4, with a total enrollment of 422 students. Over the past decade, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 4 stars out of 5 to just 1 star in the most recent school years.

Central Park East II consistently underperforms compared to the District 4 and statewide averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33.33% of 3rd graders at Central Park East II were proficient in ELA, compared to 43.59% in District 4 and 54.15% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with rankings for various student groups in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Central Park East II lags significantly behind. For instance, PS 83 Luis Munoz Rivera, located just 0.51 miles away, consistently outperforms Central Park East II in both ELA and Math proficiency. Additionally, the nearby Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 3, while serving a similar demographic, achieves dramatically higher proficiency rates in both subjects, ranking in the top 5% of New York elementary schools. Despite the school's high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students at Central Park East II.
