Summary:

Ps 33 Timothy Dwight is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 747 students.

Ps 33 Timothy Dwight has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1,800 and 2,200 out of around 2,400 schools.

The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 13.79% for 3rd grade to 28.57% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 42.6% for 3rd grade and 43.68% for 5th grade. In math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 17.21% for 3rd grade to 35.94% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 53.93% for 3rd grade and 48.93% for 5th grade.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $19,258 in 2022-2023 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, Ps 33 Timothy Dwight's academic outcomes remain poor. In contrast, the nearby Brilla Caritas Charter School, Brilla Pax Charter School, and KIPP Freedom Charter School demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates in ELA and math that are 20-30 percentage points higher than Ps 33 Timothy Dwight and the surrounding district schools, such as Ps 9 Ryer Avenue Elementary School, Ps 85 Great Expectations, and Ps 91.

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.
