Ps 195

Summary:

PS 195 is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 726 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #12, which is ranked 771 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. PS 195 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a statewide ranking between 1839 and 2397 out of around 2,400 schools.

PS 195 consistently performs significantly below the New York City District #12 and New York state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.24% of 3rd graders, 11.97% of 4th graders, and 10.2% of 5th graders at PS 195 were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 27.04%, 29.78%, and 24.61% for District #12, respectively. The school's performance in Science for 5th grade was also very low, with only 7.48% proficient or better, compared to 13.63% for District #12. Additionally, PS 195 consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of New York elementary schools for various student subgroups, including Female, Male, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

While PS 195 spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $15,492 to $19,563 per student over the past few years, and has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (86.73% to 91.89%) suggests that the student population comes from a low-income background, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Interestingly, two charter schools in the area, Icahn Charter School 7 and Bold Charter School, significantly outperform PS 195 and the other nearby public schools in both ELA and Math proficiency, indicating that the challenges at PS 195 may be more systemic in nature.

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.
