Young Leaders Elementary School

Summary:

Young Leaders Elementary School is a public elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 213 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, with a predominantly Hispanic (74.18%) and African American (21.6%) student population.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 students per teacher and high spending per student of $28,401, Young Leaders Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 18.52% to 36%, compared to the state average of 44.89% to 48.79%, and in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 29.41% to 52%, compared to the state average of 49.69% to 53.85%. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, with 96.71% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its persistent low performance.

While the nearby schools, such as PS 179, Choice Charter School, and PS 30 Wilton, also serve predominantly low-income and minority student populations, they generally outperform Young Leaders Elementary School on state assessments, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status and demographics may be influencing the school's academic outcomes. Exploring the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems for students and teachers could provide insights into areas for improvement to better serve the needs of the school 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.
