Ps 47 John Randolph

Summary:

PS 47 John Randolph is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students, as well as a significant Asian population.

Despite having a relatively high spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, PS 47 John Randolph consistently performs below the New York City Geographic District #12 and the state of New York in terms of proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 23.97% to 34.15% in ELA and 24.43% to 34.44% in Math, significantly lower than the district's and state's averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students from low-income families, with 94.85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When analyzing the performance of specific student subgroups, PS 47 John Randolph ranks particularly low for its Asian, African American, and Hispanic students, as well as for its English Language Learners and students with special needs. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of these student populations. Interestingly, nearby high-performing charter schools, such as Success Academy Charter School - Bronx 4 and Bronx Charter School For Excellence, have significantly outperformed PS 47 John Randolph and the surrounding district on state assessments, particularly in math, which could provide valuable insights and potential strategies for improvement.

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.
