Frequently asked questions
What is the best public school in Staten Island?
Naples Street Elementary School in Staten Island, New York ranks first among traditional public schools in Staten Island with a Success Index (US) of 83.8 out of 100 (Enrollment: 311).
How are traditional public schools in Staten Island ranked?

Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
