School For Environmental Citizenship

Summary:

The School For Environmental Citizenship is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 438. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 728 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in serving its predominantly low-income, Hispanic student population. With a student body that is 84.93% Hispanic, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the New York City District #10 and New York state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 35.14%, compared to the district's 32.2% and the state's 44.89%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Ps 279 Capt Manuel Rivera Junior and Ps 15 Institute For Environmental Learning, generally outperform the School For Environmental Citizenship in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better school rankings. However, these schools also serve a similar high-poverty student population. Additionally, the KIPP Freedom Charter School, located within close proximity, outperforms the School For Environmental Citizenship across various academic measures, despite serving a similar demographic of students.

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.
