PS 112 Bronxwood consistently underperforms academically compared to the district and state, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. The school has a high percentage of Hispanic (52.93%) and African American (44.53%) students, and an extremely high rate (over 93%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the high funding (over $25,000 per student) and relatively small class sizes (11 students per teacher), PS 112 Bronxwood has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, placing it in the lowest performance tier.

While nearby schools like PS 68, PS 78 Anne Hutchinson, and Cornerstone Academy for Social Action also struggle academically and have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, they generally outperform PS 112 Bronxwood. The nearby Baychester Academy, a public charter school, demonstrates that high-quality education is possible in the same geographic area, suggesting that there is potential for PS 112 Bronxwood to improve with the right strategies and resources.

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.
