Ps 1 Courtlandt School

Summary:

Ps 1 Courtlandt School is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 458 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 1 Courtlandt School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, supporting the needs of diverse student populations, and addressing the high poverty levels of its student body. The school consistently underperforms compared to the New York City Geographic District #7 and the state of New York in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 19.44% of 3rd graders, 30% of 4th graders, and 14.93% of 5th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to the district's 34.03%, 33.24%, and 24.91% respectively. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25-50% of New York elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Ps/Middle School 29 Melrose, Ps/Middle School 31 William Lloyd Garrison, and Ps 18 John Peter Zenger, also struggle academically, with proficiency rates below the state average. However, the recently opened Zeta Charter School -South Bronx and South Bronx Classical Charter School IV have significantly outperformed Ps 1 Courtlandt School and the surrounding district schools, suggesting that high-quality charter schools can be successful in this area.

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.
