The Manhattan School System
Manhattan, New York, is one of the five boroughs that make up New York City. With more than 1.65 million people, it’s also the most densely populated borough. Considered to be one of the top financial hubs in the world, Manhattan acts as the economic and administrative center of New York City. Students living in Manhattan attend the New York City Department of Education, a district that manages more than 1,800 schools and 1.1 million students—making it the largest school district in the United States.
Varsity Tutors can help your child gain a personalized learning experience that sets them up for success throughout their life. From the moment your child enters a classroom for the first time until the day they receive their college degree, a personal tutor can assist them with preparing for tests, reviewing classroom material, and gaining a deeper appreciation for learning. As a result, your child could become a balanced student with the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in professional and academic settings.
If you’d like to see how well the schools in Manhattan are performing on state assessments, check out the chart below.
Manhattan Test Scores
Standardized testing is a common part of education for most students in the country. Those living in Manhattan, however, must prepare for the Regents Examination. This comprehensive exam evaluates students’ knowledge of English, social sciences, algebra, geometry, and both physical and life science. There’s a lot of information to take in, which is why it’s important for students to get a head start on their learning so that they can succeed on test day.
Working with a private Manhattan tutor is an excellent way to help your child get ahead. Whether they need guidance preparing for college entrance exams or need help with the Regents Examination, a private tutor can assist them every step of the way. Working with a tutor gives your child a balanced learning experience that can increase their confidence and broaden their academic understanding. Not only could this increase their chances of scoring well on any upcoming tests and assignments, but your child can also learn how to develop better problem solving and organizational skills as well.
When you live in a large city like New York City, it’s important to keep in mind that the large size of the educational system doesn’t always translate to a superior learning experience. While Manhattan is home to some of the top schools in the country, not every high school is equipped with the latest resources and technology.
