Ps 89

Summary:

PS 89 is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-8 with 1,211 students. It is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 646 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While PS 89 generally performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency, it does outperform the district and state in some areas, such as 7th grade ELA and Math. The school also performs well in Regents exams, with over 88% proficiency in Living Environment, U.S. History and Government, and Algebra I. However, the school's performance varies greatly among different student subgroups, with Asian and African American students outperforming their Hispanic and White peers. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps.

Within a 1-mile radius of PS 89, there are several other elementary schools, such as PS 96 Richard Rodgers and PS 108 Philip J Abinanti, that consistently outperform PS 89 and the district/state averages. Additionally, the increase in per-student spending at PS 89 suggests a commitment to investing in the school's resources and infrastructure, but the continued challenges in student performance indicate that simply increasing funding may not be enough, and a more comprehensive approach to school improvement may be necessary.

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.

i think ps 89 is a great school my kid loves it Close Quote

by a teacher
Saturday, July 4, 2009

Ronald Rivera is an excellent administrator to work for. He does his best to run a
well organized school with the resources he has to work with. The staff members
are very professional, and care about the students.

Areas of improvement;
1. The tone of the building is too loud.
2. The building is extremely filthy.
3. The lighting in the large cafeteria and auditorium are dim.
4. Some of the classes in the middle school are over crowded.
5. There should be more security roaming the hallways.
6. The school lacks supplies for classrooms to use. Close Quote

The school could be better organized. I believe that the school should be k-5th grade. The grade 6, 7, and 8th grades should not be with the little children.

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.
