Summary:

The zip code 10035 in New York City is home to two middle schools, PS 206 Jose Celso Barbosa and Renaissance School of the Arts. Both schools serve a high-need, low-income student population, with over 93% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While PS 206 Jose Celso Barbosa has a higher statewide ranking and better proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math in the lower grade levels, its performance declines significantly in the higher grades. In contrast, Renaissance School of the Arts has a lower statewide ranking and mixed academic performance, with higher English Language Arts proficiency in 7th grade but lower proficiency in Math and Science across all grade levels.

Both schools spend significantly more per student than the state average, with PS 206 Jose Celso Barbosa spending $60,034 per student and Renaissance School of the Arts spending $46,689 per student. However, this higher spending does not appear to translate to better academic performance, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach is needed to improve student outcomes in this high-need area served by New York City Geographic District # 4.
