Summary:

The 10040 zip code in New York City is home to 5 high schools that serve a predominantly high-need student population. Despite some variation in performance, the overall academic outcomes at these schools are consistently low, suggesting systemic challenges that impact student achievement across the district.

City College Academy Of The Arts stands out as the strongest performer, with the highest statewide ranking, 4-year graduation rate, and Regents exam pass rates among the 5 schools. In contrast, the other schools struggle to meet state proficiency averages, with high chronic absenteeism and low Regents pass rates across multiple subjects.

Serving student populations where over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, these high schools face significant resource constraints and socioeconomic factors that likely contribute to their academic challenges. Addressing these systemic issues will require a multi-faceted approach focused on supporting students, teachers, and the broader New York City Geographic District # 6 community.
