What is the School Quality Snapshot?
The School Quality Snapshot summarizes data about New York City schools in an easy-to-read format. Ratings in seven different categories show what the school is doing well and what it can work on.
The Department of Education collects a lot of information about how well schools serve their students. Families, school staff, and students answer survey questions about their schools. Experienced educators conduct a two-day school visit, where they observe classrooms, speak with the school community and write detailed reports of what they learned. The city tracks results like test scores and graduation rates. The School Quality Snapshot displays summaries of all of this information as well as general information about the school. If you’d like to dive deeper, you’ll find links to other reports with more detailed information.
