Here is a map of the status of NYC Renewal schools as of 2018. This map also includes schools outside the Renewal program that were closed. Click here to view the general map interactively.
Next, here are maps made using Social Explorer and ACS Data of all the Renewal schools mapped over median income and white population density within census tracts.
