About New York City Department Of Education
New York City Department Of Education serves zip code 11215, covering Brooklyn, New York with grades Kindergarten – 8th. Whether you’re researching a move, evaluating a home purchase, or preparing to enroll a child, the sections below give you a complete picture of this district’s resources, size, and what its rating means for your family.
Understanding the 9/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates New York City Department Of Education 9 out of 10 — top-tier among New York public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2017–18 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because New York is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
New York City Department Of Education falls near the middle of New York on state assessment results, with reading and math proficiency close to the state median. Average-rated districts provide foundational public education, and many families find they deliver solid day-to-day learning — particularly when parents stay engaged. If you're considering this area, look beyond the overall rating: visit schools, talk to current parents, and research the specific school your child would attend. Average districts often have individual schools that significantly outperform the district mean.
Enrollment for Families in Zip Code 11215
Children in zip code 11215 are assigned to New York City Department Of Education for public school enrollment, covering grades Kindergarten – 8th. School assignments are address-specific — your elementary, middle, and high school placements depend on your exact street address within zip code 11215, not just your neighborhood. Two homes on opposite ends of the same zip code may be assigned to different schools within the same district.
To confirm your specific school assignments, contact New York City Department Of Education at (212)374-6000.
