Summary:

The 11249 zip code area in New York is home to a single standout elementary school, PS 84 Jose De Diego, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This public magnet school has consistently outperformed district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts, and maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of elementary schools in New York.

PS 84 Jose De Diego boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, which likely contributes to its strong academic performance. The school spends $36,109 per student, higher than the state average, and 58.82% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic need among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school has maintained a high level of proficiency, suggesting effective teaching and learning practices are in place.

While the data indicates PS 84 Jose De Diego is a high-performing school, the high poverty rate among its students raises questions about equity and access to resources. Further analysis would be needed to understand how the school is supporting economically disadvantaged students and ensuring all learners have the opportunity to succeed.
