Ps 57 Crescent

Summary:

PS 57 Crescent is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 383 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #12, which is ranked 789 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 57 Crescent has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (64.23%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 58.77% to 78.92% Hispanic students. The school also has a higher percentage of African American students (28.72%) compared to the nearby schools. Academically, PS 57 Crescent's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in New York State Assessments, is generally lower than the New York City Geographic District #12 and the state of New York averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 20.69% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.58% in the district and 44.89% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The nearby schools, including Colibri Community School, School of Science and Applied Learning, and PS 211, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance challenges as PS 57 Crescent. This suggests that the challenges faced by PS 57 Crescent are not unique but rather reflective of the broader educational landscape in the surrounding area. The high rates of poverty, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, and the concentration of historically underserved student populations (e.g., Hispanic, African American, English Language Learners) may be contributing factors to the school's overall academic challenges.

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.
