Ps 583

Q: Is Ps 583 a good school?

Ps 583 ranks 1296 th of 2445 New York elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

PS 583 is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 416 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #8, which is ranked 722 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 583 has a mixed academic performance, with strengths in math but weaker results in English Language Arts (ELA), particularly in the lower grades. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and Homeless students performing relatively well. Nearby charter schools, such as Grand Concourse Academy Charter School and Success Academy Charter School - Bronx 4, significantly outperform PS 583 and the district/state averages, suggesting the potential for improvement in the traditional public school system.

The increase in per-student spending and decrease in student-teacher ratio at PS 583 may indicate efforts to improve the school's resources and support for students. However, the school faces challenges in academic achievement, particularly in ELA, and could benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address the performance gaps observed across grade levels and student subgroups. The strong performance of nearby charter schools highlights the potential for improvement in the traditional public school system.

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.
