Ps 28 Mount Hope

Summary:

PS 28 Mount Hope is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 589 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 755 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 28 Mount Hope consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments compared to the district and statewide averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math range from 18% to 48%, while the nearby Icahn Charter School 6 and Bronx Charter School for Excellence 5 often exceed 80% proficiency. However, the school's African American students and homeless student subgroups perform relatively well, suggesting that the school may have some effective practices that could be leveraged to improve outcomes for the broader student population.

With 93% to 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, PS 28 Mount Hope serves a high-needs population. The school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are on par with nearby district schools, but the academic performance lags behind, particularly for Hispanic and English Language Learner students. The nearby charter schools' exceptional performance highlights the potential for higher academic achievement in the local community, which could serve as a model for PS 28 Mount Hope and the surrounding New York City Geographic District #9.

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.
