Summary:
The zip code 11356 in College Point, New York is home to a single middle school, the College Point Collaborative, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the district and state averages, though it performs better on Regents exams. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 80.81% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, declining from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating in the following two years.
The College Point Collaborative's proficiency rates on New York State Assessments range from 27.61% in 6th grade Math to 47.83% in 8th grade ELA, compared to district averages of 50.19% to 73.58% and state averages of 46.74% to 52.38%. However, the school performs better on Regents exams, with proficiency rates of 87.27% in Algebra I and 70.91% in Life Science Biology, exceeding both district and New York City Geographic District #25 and state averages.
Despite the school's challenges in meeting state assessment standards, it is allocating more resources towards its students, with a per-student spending of $26,761 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5. However, the data does not clearly indicate whether these investments are translating into improved student outcomes. The fluctuating statewide ranking of the College Point Collaborative may warrant further investigation into the factors driving these changes in the school's performance and perception.
