While the district is ranked 571 out of 874 in New York and has a 2-star rating, two schools stand out as exceptional performers: Scholars' Academy, a high school ranked 330 out of 1,234 in the state with a 4-star rating, and Ps/Middle School 114 Belle Harbor, an elementary/middle school ranked 312 out of 2,445 in the state with a 4-star rating.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools in this zip code. While Scholars' Academy and Ps/Middle School 114 Belle Harbor consistently outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, the other schools in the area generally underperform, with some having proficiency rates below 20% in certain subjects. This contrast suggests a need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the equity issues within the district. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 31.5% across all schools, is a concerning trend that likely contributes to the overall academic challenges faced by these schools.
The data also highlights the wide range in funding and student demographics across the schools. Spending per student varies from $25,410 at Scholars' Academy to $41,600 at Rockaway Park High School For Environmental Sustainability, while free/reduced lunch rates range from 30.07% at Ps/Middle School 114 Belle Harbor to 85.37% at United Charter High School For The Humanities IV. These disparities in funding and student demographics may contribute to the significant performance gaps observed across the schools in this zip code.
