Summary:

The 11102 zip code area of New York City is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the New York City Geographic District #30. While the district is ranked 382 out of 874 in New York, the schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance and resources.

Two schools stand out as exceptional: 30th Avenue School (The) (G & T Citywide), a public magnet school that consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in New York, and Ps 234, another high-performing elementary school. Both schools have over 80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, and receive 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Academy For New Americans, a middle school, struggles with significantly lower test scores and a 2-star rating.

The data reveals a wide range in school resources, with 30th Avenue School (The) (G & T Citywide) spending $24,174 per student and having a student-teacher ratio of 19.2, while Academy For New Americans spends $46,734 per student and has a ratio of 10.5. This variation in funding and staffing likely contributes to the disparities in academic performance observed across the schools in the 11102 zip code area.
