NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #25

NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #25 operates 46 schools across Queens serving 34,704 students with minimal enrollment fluctuation of 0.3% growth. The district maintains a student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1 across 26 elementary, 8 middle, and 12 high schools staffed by 2,597 teachers.

Academically, the district demonstrates reading proficiency at 59.0%, substantially above the New York state average of 45.8%. However, the graduation rate of 82.0% falls below the state average of 86.2%, while the dropout rate remains at 4.0%.

The student population reflects significant demographic complexity. Economically disadvantaged students comprise 76.0% of enrollment, with 24.0% identified as English learners and 17.0% as students with disabilities. Racial composition shows 46.3% Asian students, 36.9% Hispanic, 8.6% White, and 5.0% Black students.

Chronic absenteeism affects 10.0% of the student population, which warrants attention for academic continuity. The district serves a predominantly low-income community with substantial language diversity, requiring considerable resources for English language instruction and support services. The elevated reading proficiency relative to state standards suggests effective literacy programming, though the graduation rate differential indicates secondary-level completion challenges that may relate to the high proportion of economically disadvantaged and English learner populations.
