Summary:

The zip code 11205 in Brooklyn, New York is home to 15 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools. These schools are part of the New York City Geographic District #13, which is ranked 617 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the area are Community Roots Charter School and Community Partnership Charter School, which have the highest statewide rankings and proficiency rates on state assessments in the data set. These charter schools serve a high-needs population but outperform the district and state averages. Another strong performer is PS 20 Clinton Hill, a public elementary school with high proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts.

However, the public schools in the data set, especially the elementary and middle schools, generally struggle academically, with low proficiency rates on state assessments. The high schools in the area also have concerning metrics, with high chronic absenteeism rates and relatively low graduation rates compared to the state average. The data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and student/family engagement, may play a significant role in academic outcomes for these schools.
