Ps 111 Seton Falls

Summary:

PS 111 Seton Falls is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 431 students. The school 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.

PS 111 Seton Falls consistently performs below the New York City Geographic District #11 and the overall New York state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 29.17%, compared to 35% for the district and 42.6% for the state. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Homeless students performing relatively better compared to the state, while Hispanic and Special Education students lag behind, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools. Despite spending significantly more per student ($23,490 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, this does not translate into better academic outcomes, and the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 in 2022-2023, which also does not seem to have a positive impact on student performance.

The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 2,064 out of 2,345 New York elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2,243 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the nearby schools, such as PS 68 and PS 153 Helen Keller, also serve high-poverty populations, they consistently outperform PS 111 Seton Falls in academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, instructional practices, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the performance gap. The presence of the higher-performing Bronx Charter School for Better Learning, located just 0.04 miles from PS 111 Seton Falls, indicates that there may be opportunities for the traditional public school to learn from and adopt effective practices from the charter school model.

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.

Ima former student at ps 111x.I graduated in 2013, this is one of the best schools for your child to attend. This school helped me get into apron ram called FEP, which got me into boarding school. I attended that program from the 5th grade to my graduation of the program this year;graduating 8th grade. I love this school with all my heart, yet it has changed I still love it. Many of my favorites have left such as mr graffi, but I know I'll see him again. Ps 111x, keep going strong for me. It's Michelllee graduated 2013. Close Quote

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.
