Ps 46 Edgar Allan Poe

Summary:

PS 46 Edgar Allan Poe is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 633 students from pre-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 the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and smaller class sizes, PS 46 Edgar Allan Poe consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,749 and 2,220 out of over 2,400 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math is significantly below the New York City District #10 and statewide averages, particularly for male students, English Language Learners, students with disabilities, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

The student population at PS 46 Edgar Allan Poe is predominantly Hispanic, making up 85.47% of the student body, with a significant African American population at 10.11%. The school's academic performance gaps between its student subgroups and the state and district averages highlight the persistent challenges in addressing racial and socioeconomic disparities in educational outcomes. This raises questions about the school's strategies for using its resources to support student learning and the potential need for a more comprehensive review of the school's educational practices and interventions.

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.
