Ps 306

Summary:

PS 306 is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 432 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 728 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 306 has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (71.53%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 68.93% to 84.93% Hispanic students. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in New York State Assessments, is generally lower than the New York City Geographic District #10 and the state of New York averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) was 28.41% at PS 306, compared to 32.2% in the district and 44.89% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1908 and 2283 out of around 2,400 schools in recent years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as PS 396, which is located just 0.24 miles away, have higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math compared to PS 306. The significant differences in performance between student subgroups at PS 306 suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its diverse student population. Additionally, the high rates of poverty, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance, and addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population could be a key focus for improving outcomes at PS 306.

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.
