An overview of New York public schools
The federal directory lists 348 public schools in New York, NY: 155 elementary, 41 middle, 129 high, 23 combined or other. The 348 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 148,806 students, an average of 428 per school. The largest campus is Stuyvesant High School (3,261 students), and the largest elementary school is Equity Project Charter School (The) (1,075).
New York City Geographic District # 2 operates the most schools here (117), and 7 regular districts have at least one New York campus, plus 53 charter, service, or other agencies. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 11.1:1, similar to the statewide school median of 11.1:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
School choice options include 53 charter schools. Application windows and lotteries usually open months before the school year.
Among 15 high and combined schools with 2021–22 civil-rights data, 12 reported students enrolled in AP courses and 7 of 15 reported computer-science classes. Confirm current course catalogs directly with each school.
About 70% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
