Summary:

The 10282 zip code in New York City is home to a single standout middle school, IS 289, which serves grades 6-8 and consistently outperforms the New York City Geographic District #2 and the state of New York on key academic metrics.

IS 289 is a high-performing school, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the New York State Assessments. The school also excels on Regents exams, with over 88% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and Life Science Biology. These impressive results may be attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 and its higher-than-average spending of $28,994 per student.

Despite serving a student population where nearly half (48.84%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students, IS 289 has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks among the top 10% of New York middle schools. This suggests the school is providing a high-quality education and effectively supporting its diverse student body.
