Ps 41 Gun Hill Road

Summary:

PS 41 Gun Hill Road is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 592 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 653 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 41 Gun Hill Road has a significantly higher percentage of African American (45.27%) and Hispanic (49.49%) students compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a more diverse student population. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,528 and 2,191 out of over 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. Additionally, over 93% of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's increased spending per student, from $14,833 in 2019-2020 to $20,502 in 2022-2023, its academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement.

When compared to nearby schools, such as PS 76 Bennington School (The), PS 94 Kings College School, and PS/Middle School 20 PO George J Werdan III, PS 41 Gun Hill Road consistently underperforms on academic measures, even within the same district. This suggests that the school faces unique challenges that require a more targeted and comprehensive approach to address the needs of its predominantly disadvantaged student population.

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.
