Summary:
The 7 elementary schools located in zip code 10009 in New York City serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. While the schools generally perform below the district and state averages in both ELA and math proficiency, a few standout schools, such as Neighborhood School and Earth School, have significantly higher proficiency rates in certain subjects, suggesting potential for improvement across the area.
Neighborhood School stands out with an impressive 80% 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate, far exceeding the New York City Geographic District #1 average of 60.08% and the state average of 42.6%. Similarly, Earth School excels in 5th-grade math, with a proficiency rate of 77.78%, compared to the district's 51.88% and the state's 49.69%. These schools demonstrate the potential for high academic achievement within the area.
The data also reveals significant variation in performance across the schools, with some, such as Ps 34 Franklin D Roosevelt and Star Academy Ps 63 (The), struggling with proficiency rates below 30% in multiple subjects. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by each school and its student population, regardless of the overall resources invested in the district.
