Ps 91

Summary:

PS 91 is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 388 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 728 out of 866 districts in the state.

While PS 91 shares a similar demographic profile with the surrounding schools, with a high Hispanic student population and a large percentage of students from low-income families, its academic performance is consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 19.7% of 3rd-grade students at PS 91 were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 32.2% in the district and 44.89% statewide. In math, the gap was even wider, with only 27.27% of 3rd-grade students at PS 91 being proficient or better, compared to 35.24% in the district and 53.68% statewide. This underperformance has led to PS 91 consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools over the past several years.

Despite the school's high spending per student ($26,013 in 2022-2023) and low student-teacher ratio (9.7), these inputs do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school leadership, may be contributing to the school's underperformance. The data highlights the importance of considering the broader context and challenges faced by schools serving high-need student populations, such as PS 91, when evaluating their performance. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its community.

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.
