District 6 Schools
District 6 offers a wide school landscape across Upper Manhattan, with 64 schools spanning elementary through high school. The district leans heavily into traditional public options, with charters accounting for about one in six schools and no private schools in the mix. Families will find solid ELL support across nearly half the schools, and a decent chunk offer world languages and AP courses. The academic profile sits squarely in the middle of the pack for the city — state test scores hover around the mid-40s for reading and low-50s for math — though attendance runs a bit above average. For high schoolers, there are audition-based arts options within the district line, alongside the more typical SHSAT pathways. Middle school options are fairly robust here compared to some northern Manhattan districts.
