Where this number comes from →Suspensions per 100 studentswithheld for privacy2024-25
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.

Students & school
Enrollment37341st percentile citywidecitywide median 4222024-25
The total number of students enrolled at this school that year.
Where this number comes from →Economic need index93.6%92nd percentile citywidecitywide median 83.8%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.
Where this number comes from →English learners70.2%99th percentile citywidecitywide median 14.2%2024-25
The share of students who are English Language Learners and receive services to build their English proficiency.
Where this number comes from →Students with disabilities12.1%6th percentile citywidecitywide median 21.8%2024-25

Where this number comes from →Poverty94.6%97th percentile citywidecitywide median 84.5%2024-25
The share of students the DOE counts as living in poverty. Because every NYC school serves free meals, the DOE identifies these students by matching against income-based assistance programs rather than by lunch-form applications.
Where this number comes from →Avg class size27.5096th percentile citywidecitywide median 19.802025-26
The school's students-per-class ratio: total students in reported classes divided by the number of classes. It covers every class the school reports, so a school spanning elementary and middle grades includes both.
Where this number comes from →Students in temporary housing27.3%Half of NYC schools score 8.5%–24.3%.2024-25
The share of students who experienced homelessness during the school year — living in a shelter or doubled up with other families — from the DOE's Local Law 73 report. This describes the students a school serves, not the school's quality.

Funding & resources
Fair Student Funding100%Half of NYC schools score 100%–100%.2024-25
How much of its Fair Student Funding formula amount the school actually receives, from the DOE's Local Law 16 report. 100% means fully funded under the city's own formula. District 75 and other specialized programs are funded outside this formula and show no figure.
Where this number comes from →Budget per student$22,590Half of NYC schools score $20,362–$28,531.2024-25
The school's total budget allocation divided by its enrollment. Schools serving higher-need students correctly receive more per student, so a bigger number describes need and programs, not quality — which is why this figure is not ranked.
