As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

PS 267 is a great school if you're of the local demographic. Black students (1) are not met with the same Welcoming tone as their white classmates. They are met with skepticism and micro aggressions...a very very sad and traumatizing experience for a young g black student in 2021!!! and don't get me started on Medea the AWFUL principal.

I have only good things to say about PS 267. The teachers are phenomenal, patient, supportive and tough all at the same time. My kids are happy and have great friends. They are learning and growing every day. I think the community of parents is lovely and kind.

The only downside of the school is limited outdoor space although the gym is beautiful and the kids still get outside to play during recess a couple of times a week.

Overall I think any student (and parent) would be lucky to be part of the 267 community. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
