The Bronx
The Bronx school system is divided into six districts. Although there are some very good schools—particularly new alternative schools—many of the schools in the Bronx are poor, suffering from low test scores, attendance and graduation rates as well as high teacher and principal turnover.

Staten Island
District 31 serves all of the students in Staten Island. With the increased number of inhabitants, schools on the shore are becoming over crowded, forcing some students to attend the smaller mid-island schools.
