Ps 93 William H Prescott

Summary:

Ps 93 William H Prescott is an elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a predominantly African American student population and is part of the New York City Geographic District #13, which is ranked 617 out of 866 districts in the state.

Ps 93 William H Prescott consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with low academic performance on state assessments. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 16.67% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 60.62% in the district and 44.89% statewide. The school's math performance is also low, with only 25% of 3rd-grade students and 20% of 5th-grade students proficient or better. This is in contrast with nearby schools like Academy of Arts and Letters and Brooklyn Brownstone School, which have more racially diverse student populations and higher academic achievement.

The challenges faced by Ps 93 William H Prescott may be related to the high percentage of students from low-income families, with 97.67% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $23,813 to $31,434 over the past four years, the academic performance of specific student subgroups, such as male students and Asian students, suggests that the challenges may be multifaceted and require a comprehensive approach to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles.

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.
