The share of parents and guardians who responded positively to "At this school my child is safe" on the NYC School Survey. This reflects what families reported, not students or staff.

We don't rank schools on this one. Almost every family answers it positively, so NYC schools are bunched within a few points of each other and a ranking would turn that gap into a verdict it can't support. The range above is where the middle half of schools land.

Removals and suspensions per 100 enrolled students, calculated from the DOE's annual student discipline report (Local Law 93). The DOE withholds small counts for privacy, so many schools — especially elementary schools — show "Withheld" here; that means the count was under the reporting threshold, not zero and not high.

2024-25

The DOE's estimate of how much economic hardship a school's students face. A student counts fully if their family receives public assistance, they lived in temporary housing in the past four years, or they are a recent-immigrant high schooler whose home language is not English. Otherwise they count by the poverty rate of their census tract. The school's figure is the average across its students, which is why it usually runs higher than the poverty measure.

What the school's parent association (PA/PTA) reported raising in the year shown, from the DOE's Local Law 171 report. PTAs file these figures with their school under Chancellor's Regulation A-660. "Not reported" means the PTA did not file — not necessarily that the school has no PTA.
