PS 58's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the New York State Assessments, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

When comparing PS 58 to the nearby schools in the same district, the performance gap is quite significant. For example, PS 28 Mount Hope and Ps/Middle School 4 Crotona Park West, both located within a 0.5-mile radius of PS 58, consistently outperform PS 58 across various academic measures. Additionally, several charter schools in the vicinity, such as Bronx Charter School For Excellence 5, Zeta Charter School - Bronxtremont Park, and Icahn Charter School 6, significantly outperform PS 58 and the district averages, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in this area.
