Summary

Is 117 Joseph H Wade is a public middle school in the Bronx, New York, serving 334 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 750 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Is 117 Joseph H Wade consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math ranged from 19.54% to 41.84%, compared to the district's 28.19% to 44.62% and the state's 46.74% to 56.47%. The school's performance on Regents exams is also below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 28.71% to 39.29% compared to the district's 33.67% to 46.38% and the state's 56.07% to 65.7%.
