The standout schools in the area appear to be the middle schools, with Middle School 137 America's School Of Heroes and Junior High School 202 Robert H Goddard both maintaining 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and outperforming the district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in math. In contrast, the high schools, John Adams High School and Robert H Goddard High School-Community/Technical, struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores compared to state averages, despite having decent graduation rates.

The elementary schools in the area show a mix of performance, with PS 63 Old South performing better than PS 65 Raymond York Elementary School (The). This variability at the elementary level may contribute to the challenges seen at the high school level. Overall, the high spending per student, especially at the elementary level, suggests that funding is not the sole factor driving academic outcomes in this New York City Geographic District #27.
