Summary:

The 10026 zip code in New York City is home to three high schools: Opportunity Charter School, Wadleigh Perf And Visual Arts, and Frederick Douglass Academy II Secondary School. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with the majority of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the three schools, Wadleigh Perf And Visual Arts stands out as the strongest performer, with higher proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams, especially in English Language Arts and Global History. It also has a higher 4-year graduation rate at 84.3%. In contrast, Opportunity Charter School appears to be the lowest performing, with the lowest statewide school ranking and the lowest proficiency rates across all subject areas.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the schools in the 10026 zip code are struggling to achieve strong academic results. All three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams compared to state and district averages, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to help these schools improve and provide a high-quality education to their students.
