Ps 73 Bronx

Summary:

PS 73 Bronx is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 331 students. It 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. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past decade.

PS 73 Bronx consistently underperforms compared to the New York City District #9 average and the statewide average on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of New York elementary schools for female, male, African American, and Hispanic students. However, the school performs better for English Language Learners and Special Education students, ranking in the top 30% and top 40% respectively. Despite the high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (97.89%) and increased spending per student ($26,525), PS 73 Bronx has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the past decade.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as Grant Avenue Elementary School, PS 35 Franz Siegel, and PS 114 Luis Llorens Torres School, also struggle with low academic performance and serve high-poverty student populations. This suggests that the challenges faced by PS 73 Bronx are not unique and may be systemic issues within the district. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and re-evaluating instructional practices and support systems may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements in student learning and success at PS 73 Bronx.

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.
