Ps 211

Summary:

PS 211 is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 203 students. The school has a diverse student population, with the majority being Hispanic (77.34%) and African American (17.73%) students, and 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 211 consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with a statewide ranking between 2,108 and 2,344 out of 2,201 to 2,439 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, PS 211 has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $31,763 at PS 211, the school's academic performance remains poor.

Interestingly, some of the nearby schools, such as PS 44 David C Farragut, Colibri Community School, and School of Science and Applied Learning, are also performing below the district and state averages on state assessments, suggesting that the educational challenges faced by PS 211 may be reflective of broader issues within the local school district. However, the low student-teacher ratio at PS 211, ranging from 7.2 to 9.8 students per teacher, could be leveraged to provide more personalized and targeted instruction, potentially leading to improved academic achievement if implemented effectively.

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.
