Ps 78 Anne Hutchinson

Summary:

PS 78 Anne Hutchinson is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 603 students. 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 78 has a predominantly African American (63.52%) and Hispanic (29.68%) student population, and a high percentage of students (89.05%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in state assessments, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 15.38% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.7% in the district and 44.89% statewide. PS 78 has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools, with a ranking of 2077 out of 2439 schools in 2022-2023 and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the majority of nearby schools in the district, such as PS 112 Bronxwood, Baychester Academy, and PS 111 Seton Falls, have similar demographic and academic profiles to PS 78, Baychester Academy stands out as a high-performing school in the area, with significantly higher academic performance than PS 78 and most other nearby schools. This suggests that further investigation into the specific instructional practices, school leadership, and community engagement strategies at Baychester Academy could provide valuable insights for improving the performance of PS 78 and other struggling schools in the district.

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.

Open Quote well i can never get in touch with the school right away and that is sad. with my son's school, i have no problem at all. my daughter was supposed to have fabulous friday with her parent at the school. i needed to know the time and could not get in touch with no one right away and that is not good at all. my daughter will be sad if i do not come and it is not my fault because no one at the office picked up the phone.

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.
