Summary:

Ps/Middle School 31 William Lloyd Garrison (The) is an elementary and middle school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 576 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #7, which is ranked 767 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps/Middle School 31 William Lloyd Garrison (The) consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments and Regents exams compared to the New York City District #7 and New York state. The school serves a high-needs student population, with 94.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a predominantly Hispanic and African American student body. The school also has a significant population of English Language Learners and students with disabilities.

While the nearby schools, such as Concourse Village Elementary School, Ps/Middle School 29 Melrose School, and Ps 1 Courtlandt School, also serve high-needs student populations and struggle with academic performance, there are exceptions, such as the high-performing South Bronx Classical Charter School IV, which outperforms the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. The relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio at Ps/Middle School 31 William Lloyd Garrison (The) suggest that additional resources alone may not be sufficient to address the academic needs of the student population.

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.
