For example, in 5th grade, 60.47% of Bronx Little School students were proficient in ELA, compared to 32.19% in the district and 45.09% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1344 out of 2439 elementary schools in 2022-2023 (rated 2 out of 5 stars) to 2191 out of 2386 in 2016-2017 (rated 0 out of 5 stars).

Bronx Little School's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 536 and Archer Elementary School. However, it lags behind the high-performing charter schools in the area, like Bronx Charter School For Excellence 2 and Icahn Charter School 2, which have significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The high poverty rate and the variable performance of different student subgroups at Bronx Little School suggest that the school may be facing challenges in addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population.

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.
