Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11421

Among the 3 schools, PS 60 Woodhaven stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 50% of New York elementary schools over the past 3 years. It has the highest test scores in English Language Arts and Math, exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, PS 97 Forest Park and New York City Academy for Discovery lag behind, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages.

Despite the performance gap, all three schools face similar challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.88% to 86.73%. This suggests a significant level of economic disadvantage in the student population. Interestingly, the school with the highest spending per student, New York City Academy for Discovery, does not have the best academic performance, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes in this area.
