Summary:
The 13 elementary schools located in New York City Geographic District #32 serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 764 out of 865 in New York state and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools within the district are performing significantly better than their peers.
PS 376 is the highest-ranked school in the district, coming in at 703 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating. This school stands out for its strong performance across all grade levels in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. In contrast, PS 151 Lyndon B Johnson and PS 299 Thomas Warren Field School are ranked 1,408 and 1,591 respectively, but still manage to excel in certain grade levels, with 5th graders at PS 151 scoring over 50% proficient in both ELA and Math.
Despite the variability in school performance, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools reporting high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.2% to 95.12%. This indicates high levels of economic disadvantage in the student populations. Additionally, the data shows no clear correlation between per-student spending and academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as effective school leadership and positive school culture, are driving student success in this district.
