Best Public Schools in Zip Code 11236


Summary:

The 11236 zip code area of Brooklyn, New York is home to 23 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 9 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling institutions, with several standout charter schools outpacing their traditional public school counterparts.

The top-performing schools in the area are Canarsie Ascend Charter School and Leadership Preparatory Canarsie Charter School, both of which have consistently high test scores, ranking in the top 30% of New York elementary schools. These charter schools significantly outperform the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math. Another standout is Brooklyn Bridge Academy, a public magnet high school that boasts 4-star ratings, top-20% statewide rankings, and exceptional Regents exam pass rates, often exceeding 90% proficiency.

In contrast, several schools in the 11236 zip code struggle academically, with some having under 30% proficiency in ELA and math. This divide appears to be closely tied to socioeconomic factors, as schools with higher rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic performance. Additionally, smaller high schools (under 200 students) generally outperform their larger counterparts, potentially due to more individualized attention and support. The data suggests that investing in areas like spending, student-teacher ratios, and targeted interventions could help improve outcomes for the lower-performing schools in this area.
