Data Limitations

  • Only 2 years of Impact Score data available (2023-24, 2024-25)
  • Impact Score methodology not fully disclosed by NYC DOE
  • Cannot determine causation - only patterns and correlations
  • No student mobility data (selection effects cannot be ruled out)
  • Many schools change category year-over-year
