New American Academy At Roberto Clemente State Park (The)

Summary:

New American Academy At Roberto Clemente State Park (The) is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 380 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 19.05% (5th grade) to 27.91% (3rd grade), compared to the district's 23.61% to 28.73% and the state's 43.68% to 47.05%. Similarly, in Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 19.7% (4th grade) to 37.21% (3rd grade), compared to the district's 29.34% to 39.16% and the state's 48.93% to 58.03%. The school's performance across different student subgroups is also concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools.

Interestingly, the school's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 109 Sedgwick and PS 204 Morris Heights, which have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as higher statewide rankings and SchoolDigger star ratings. Despite the school's increased spending per student, from $18,091 in 2019-2020 to $25,037 in 2022-2023, the academic performance remains a concern.

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.
