Elementary Schools in New York City Geographic District #30

Summary:

The 31 elementary schools located in New York City Geographic District #30 serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This diverse area of Queens is home to a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with significant disparities in academic achievement across the district.

Several schools stand out as exceptional, including 30th Avenue School (The) (G & T Citywide), ranked 6th out of 2,445 elementary schools in New York state, and Ps 122 Mamie Fay, ranked 244th. These high-performing schools have impressive test scores, with proficiency rates over 90% in both English Language Arts and math. In contrast, lower-performing schools like Ps 111 Jacob Blackwell have proficiency rates below 20%.

The data reveals a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the highest-poverty schools tending to have the lowest test scores. However, factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership and instructional practices, also play a crucial role in student outcomes. The district's magnet schools, like 30th Avenue School (The) (G & T Citywide), demonstrate the potential benefits of specialized, selective programs in driving student success.
