Summary:
The schools in zip code 11369 serve a diverse student population, with a mix of elementary and middle schools in the New York City Geographic District #30. While the district as a whole is ranked 389 out of 866 in New York, one standout school, Is 227 Louis Armstrong, consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The performance gap between the top-performing Is 227 Louis Armstrong and the lower-performing Ps 127 Aerospace Science Magnet School, Ps 148, and Ps 419 is significant, particularly in Math and Science, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and student demographics may be contributing to the differences in academic achievement. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across all the schools also indicate that the student population in this zip code faces significant socioeconomic challenges.
The wide range in spending per student, from $14,837 at Is 227 Louis Armstrong to $29,050 at Ivan Lafayette Early Childhood School Of The Arts, raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources across the district and how effectively those resources are being utilized to support student learning. The relatively low performance of Ps 419, a middle school that serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, is also concerning and warrants further investigation.
