2024-25

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.

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.
