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.
