Summary

Amistad Dual Language School is a public elementary school serving 393 students in grades K-8 in New York City's District 6, located in the Washington Heights neighborhood. The school has a focus on dual language education, providing instruction in both English and Spanish.

Amistad Dual Language School consistently outperforms the New York City District 6 and New York state averages on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Amistad's 3rd-8th grade students scored 10-25 percentage points higher than the district and state in ELA proficiency, and 5-40 percentage points higher in Math proficiency. The school's performance is particularly strong for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 20% and top 30% of New York elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups.

Amistad Dual Language School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, rising from the bottom quartile to the middle quartile of New York elementary schools. The school's higher per-student spending ($35,701 in 2023-2024) compared to the district ($32,100) and state ($19,955) averages, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, appear to contribute to its strong academic outcomes. Amistad Dual Language School also outperforms most of the nearby public schools in the district, including Professor Juan Bosch Public School and PS 5 Ellen Lurie, as well as nearby charter schools like Equity Project Charter School and Zeta Charter School - Inwood.
