Ps 9 Ryer Avenue Elementary School

Summary:

Ps 9 Ryer Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 584 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 715 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 9 Ryer Avenue Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1783 and 2246 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 17.11% (5th grade) to 24.68% (3rd grade), compared to the district averages of 28.92% to 30.09% and the state average of 42.6% to 47.05%. Similarly, in Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 25.93% (4th grade) to 32.5% (3rd grade), compared to the district averages of 34.98% to 39.63% and the state average of 48.93% to 58.03%. The school serves a predominantly disadvantaged student population, with 94.18% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Ps 209, Ps 85 Great Expectations, and School For Environmental Citizenship, generally perform better than Ps 9 Ryer Avenue Elementary School on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. These schools also have similar student demographics, with high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but they appear to be more effective in supporting their students' academic achievement. The high percentage of disadvantaged students and English Language Learners at Ps 9 Ryer Avenue Elementary School may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, and the school's relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest that the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the student population.

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.
