Dr Emmett W Bassett School (The)

Summary:

Dr Emmett W Bassett School (The) is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 524 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #8, which is ranked 742 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic (57.06%) and Asian (20.8%) representation, which is notably different from the nearby schools, such as PS 100 Isaac Clason and PS 47 John Randolph, which tend to have higher African American and lower Asian student populations. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grades, its overall statewide ranking has fluctuated between 860 and 1,735 out of over 2,200 New York elementary schools in recent years, indicating room for improvement.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students performing relatively well, ranking in the top half of New York elementary schools in recent years. In contrast, Asian and Hispanic students have struggled, with lower rankings compared to their peers statewide. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (over 93%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending has increased from $16,044 in 2019-2020 to $21,428 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to address the performance disparities and support the economically disadvantaged 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.
