Summary

Is 145 Joseph Pulitzer is a public middle school in Jackson Heights, New York, serving 1,525 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #30, which is ranked 382 out of 874 districts in the state.

Academically, Is 145 Joseph Pulitzer has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates ranging from 28% to 52% on state assessments, which are below the district and state averages. The school has relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,291 to $27,203 in recent years, and a low student-teacher ratio between 13.5 and 14.3 students per teacher. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes, as the school's performance lags behind nearby schools such as Middle School 429, Is 227 Louis Armstrong, and Is 10 Horace Greeley, which generally outperform Is 145 Joseph Pulitzer on academic measures.

The school's student population is diverse, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, around 91% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The performance of different student subgroups at Is 145 Joseph Pulitzer varies significantly, with Asian and Hispanic students tending to perform better than African American and special education students. While the school is designated as a public magnet school, its academic performance does not appear to be significantly better than nearby non-magnet schools. Addressing these challenges and implementing effective strategies to improve student learning and engagement could be crucial for the school's future success.
