Manhattan’s 10 Highest-performing Elementary School Zones + Rental Data

School performance is based on 2024–25 New York State math and reading proficiency figures reported by InsideSchools. The academic index is the average of the two proficiency rates, calculated for this analysis.

Asking rents are based on new Manhattan rental listings appearing from March through May 2026 in the FirstMover Open Data Project. Listings were matched to NYC elementary school zones using their latitude and longitude. Median rents were calculated separately for one- and two-bedroom apartments. Figures represent asking rents rather than rents on signed leases.
