While the elementary and middle schools in this area are among the top-performing in the state, the high schools lag significantly behind in academic achievement.

The standout schools in this area are PS 77 Lower Lab School, ranked 4th out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, and PS 527 East Side School for Social Action, ranked 109th. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with over 80% proficiency in both ELA and Math. In contrast, the two high schools, The High School for Climate Justice and Judith S. Kaye School, rank in the bottom quarter of New York high schools and have significantly lower test scores and graduation rates.

The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the high-performing schools tend to serve more affluent student populations with lower free/reduced lunch rates. Additionally, the top-performing schools have lower per-student spending but higher student-teacher ratios, indicating a focus on instructional quality over pure funding levels. These stark differences in performance within the same geographic area raise questions about educational equity and access to high-quality learning opportunities for all students in the 10128 zip code.
