Teachers College Community School

Summary:

Teachers College Community School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in New York City's New York City Geographic District # 5, with 326 students located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, currently ranking 827 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school generally outperforms the New York City District 5 and statewide averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across most grade levels, with standout performance in 4th grade. However, the school's performance is more mixed in certain grade levels and subject areas, such as 5th and 6th grade ELA and Math, where it lags behind district and state averages. The school's performance for Hispanic students is a relative strength, ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools, while students with special needs and from low socioeconomic backgrounds have more mixed outcomes.

Nearby public schools, such as PS 125 Ralph Bunche and PS 129 John H Finley, have similar demographic profiles and performance levels to Teachers College Community School. However, the nearby charter schools, like KIPP Star College Prep and Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 6, generally outperform the school and the district/state averages in both ELA and Math proficiency, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in serving the community.

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.

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.
