Summary

Ace Academy For Scholars At The Geraldine Ferraro Campus is an elementary school located in Ridgewood, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 556 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 544 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ace Academy consistently outperforms the New York City Geographic District #24 and the overall New York state in state assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across grades 3-5. In the 2024-2025 school year, Ace Academy's 5th-grade students achieved 69.86% proficiency in ELA and 65.75% proficiency in Math, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance has been strong over the past several years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 343 to 856 out of over 2,400 New York elementary schools, and a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ace Academy's higher per-student spending of around $26,000 to $33,000 in recent years and lower student-teacher ratio of around 15-16 students per teacher may be contributing to its stronger academic performance compared to nearby schools. However, the school faces challenges in addressing achievement gaps among its diverse student population, with its Asian and White students performing significantly better than its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students.
