Summary:
The 11109 zip code in New York is home to a single standout elementary school, PS/IS 78, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 759 students. This school is part of the New York City Geographic District #30, which is ranked 382 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
PS/IS 78 is a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in New York state. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 173 out of 2,445 elementary schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Students at PS/IS 78 significantly outperform their peers in the district and across the state on New York state assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 87.36% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 58.59% in the district and 54.15% statewide.
The school's strong academic performance is likely supported by its high level of resources, with a per-student spending of $22,527, which is significantly higher than the state average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.8 to 1. However, the school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 22.66%, suggests the school may not be serving a diverse student population and may need to address issues of equity and access to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
