The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing better than the overall school, but African American students, Special Education students, and Low Socio-Economic Status students performing consistently lower than the overall school and the district/state averages.

The School For Environmental Citizenship has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,574 and 2,365 out of 2,445 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also been low, with 0 or 1 star out of 5 for most years, indicating poor overall performance compared to other schools in the state. While the school's focus on environmental learning is unique among the nearby schools, such as Elementary School For Math Science And Technology, Ps 279 Capt Manuel Rivera Junior, and Ps 9 Ryer Avenue Elementary School, this specialized focus does not seem to have translated into significantly better academic outcomes for the school compared to its peers.

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.
