School SummaryDistrict 2
District 2 contains some of the city's highest-performing elementary schools, including P.S. 77 Lower Lab (99/100), P.S. 290 (95/100), and several Success Academy charter schools. This entry does not compete in that landscape as it is an administrative function.
No academic proficiency data is available for this entry, as it represents an administrative office rather than a traditional school.
School climate survey data is not available for this entry type.
The Office of Academic Policy serves district staff rather than students, so traditional school demographics do not apply. The surrounding neighborhood is characterized by professionals, high-income households (median income $171,008), and only 9.2% of households with children.
Midtown South-Flatiron-Union Square is one of Manhattan's most transit-rich areas with a perfect transit score of 99.62. The neighborhood has strong education orientation (90.42) and stability (84.29), though family density is low at 9.2%. Safety indicators show moderate crime density and environmental concerns including elevated PM2.5 levels and lead exposure rates of 8.7%.
The location is highly walkable given the urban density and transit access, though the area is more commercial-professional than residential.
