Ps 59 Community School Of Technology (The)

Summary:

Ps 59 Community School Of Technology (The) is an elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students in the Bronx, New York. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (63.57%) and African American (32.13%), with a high percentage of students from low-income families receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Ps 59 Community School Of Technology (The) consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 6% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in ELA, compared to 32.2% in New York City Geographic District #10 and 44.89% statewide. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Ps 23 New Children's School (The), Ps 159 Luis Mumoz Marin Biling, and Ps 3 Raul Julia Micro Society, also face academic challenges, with most of them ranking in the bottom 20-25% of New York elementary schools. However, Ps 3 Raul Julia Micro Society, which serves students from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade, performs slightly better than the other nearby schools. The high percentage of low-income students and the relatively high per-student spending at Ps 59 Community School Of Technology (The) and the surrounding schools suggest that socioeconomic factors and resource allocation may play a significant role in the academic struggles of these institutions.

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.
