Summary:
The 10016 zip code area of New York City is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 0 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The schools in this area show a wide range of performance, with some standout elementary schools and more mixed results at the high school level.
The River School is an exceptional elementary school, consistently ranking among the top 150 schools in New York. It boasts outstanding test scores, with over 90% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and Math, and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 26.17%. In contrast, PS 116 Mary Lindley Murray, while not as highly ranked, still performs well above the state and district averages, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong test scores, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade ELA.
The high schools in the 10016 zip code area have more mixed results, with some subject areas well below the district and state averages on state assessments. The 4-year graduation rates for these schools are around 84%, close to the district averages, but their chronic absenteeism rates are quite high, around 31.5%. The wide disparity in free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 26.17% at The River School to 98.4% at Manhattan Academy for Arts and Languages, likely presents significant challenges for the lower-performing schools. Overall, the schools in this New York City Geographic District #2 area show a need for more targeted support and resources to help the struggling schools improve.
