Is 61 Leonardo Da Vinci

Is 61 Leonardo Da Vinci is a middle school in Corona, NY that enrolls 2,079 students in grades 6-8, putting it among the larger public campuses in the New York City Geographic District #24. That headcount is above the 861-student average for schools in the district.

On the latest EDFacts assessments, 32% of students met grade-level proficiency in combined math and reading. EDFacts reports this rate at the district level and each state sets its own cut score, so it reads best as a relative marker rather than a verdict on any one classroom. That is 7 points below the 38% average for the New York City Geographic District #24. Against the 47% New York statewide average, the school sits 15 points lower.

Over the last three reported years the district proficiency rate this school inherits has risen by about 10 points.

The student-teacher ratio is 12.3 to 1, below the U.S. average of roughly 16 to 1, which generally allows more adult attention per student. 94% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student body. It receives Title I federal funding, which flags a higher share of low-income students rather than measuring school quality.
