Summary

Harold O Levy School is a public middle school located in New York, NY, serving grades 6-9 with a total enrollment of 134 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #6, which is ranked 642 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harold O Levy School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1301-1452 out of around 1500 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for certain student subgroups such as female, male, and low socioeconomic status students. The school has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.01% to 98.45% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $26,427 to $64,469 over the past few years, and its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.2 to 7.4, the school continues to struggle to provide a high-quality education for its students.

Nearby schools in the same district, such as Is 528 Bea Fuller Rodgers School and Junior High School 143 Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as some schools in nearby districts, such as Is 303 Leadership & Community Service and Is 232, generally perform better than Harold O Levy School on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings, despite serving similar high-poverty student populations. This suggests that there may be effective practices or strategies being implemented at these schools that could potentially be replicated at Harold O Levy School to improve student outcomes.
