Ps/Middle School 280 Mosholu Parkway

Summary:

Ps/Middle School 280 Mosholu Parkway is a public elementary and middle school in the Bronx, New York, serving 699 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school stands out for its high percentage of Hispanic students, strong academic performance in the upper grades, and significant investment in resources to support its economically disadvantaged student population.

With a student body that is 76.11% Hispanic, Ps/Middle School 280 Mosholu Parkway has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, which range from 49.49% to 85.47% Hispanic. The school's academic performance is also noteworthy, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, particularly in the 6th-8th grades, compared to the New York City Geographic District #10 average. For example, in 8th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate was 63.33%, compared to the district's 50.03% and the state's 55.2%.

While the school's African American and Hispanic student groups perform well, outranking the district and state averages, the school faces challenges in supporting its English Language Learner and White student populations, which perform significantly worse. Additionally, despite the school's high spending per student, ranging from $17,985 to $20,218, and low student-teacher ratio, it still lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Ampark Neighborhood and Ps 56 Norwood Heights, which have higher proficiency rates and overall rankings.

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.
