Summary:

Is 206 Ann Mersereau is a public middle school in the Bronx, New York, serving 177 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Is 206 Ann Mersereau has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 80.79% Hispanic students, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 71.08% to 84.72% Hispanic. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1176 and 1360 out of around 1400-1500 schools over the past decade. Its performance on state assessments is also below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.84% to 95.48% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the school's spending per student has increased significantly, from $19,778 in 2019-2020 to $37,518 in 2022-2023, the student-teacher ratio has remained relatively high, ranging from 8.2 to 10.8 over the past three years. This suggests that the additional resources may not have translated into significantly smaller class sizes or more individualized attention for students. Interestingly, despite the school's overall low academic performance, its English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively well, ranking in the top quartile of New York middle schools for this subgroup. The challenges faced by Is 206 Ann Mersereau are not unique, as the nearby schools in New York City Geographic District #10 have similar demographic and academic profiles.

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.
