Summary:

The 11421 zip code area in New York is home to three elementary schools: PS 60 Woodhaven, PS 97 Forest Park, and New York City Academy for Discovery. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the New York City Geographic District #27.

Among the three schools, PS 60 Woodhaven stands out as the top performer. It has the highest statewide ranking, placing 797th out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, and earned a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, PS 60 Woodhaven is projected to have the highest proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas, significantly outpacing the district and state averages.

While New York City Academy for Discovery has the highest per-student spending at $33,387, it also has the lowest proficiency rates among the three schools. In contrast, PS 60 Woodhaven, the standout performer, has the lowest per-student spending at $28,851. This suggests that higher spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes.
