PS 46 Edgar Allan Poe consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and math compared to the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.05% to 93.68% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the nearby schools in the same district generally perform better than PS 46 Edgar Allan Poe on state assessments, these schools also have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the economic challenges faced by the student population are not unique to PS 46 Edgar Allan Poe. The data suggests that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population, particularly for underperforming subgroups, and continued investment in resources and support services, coupled with a focus on data-driven decision-making and evidence-based instructional practices, may help to improve the academic outcomes for students at PS 46 Edgar Allan Poe.

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.
