Ps 376

Summary:

PS 376 is an elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic. Despite facing challenges related to socioeconomic status, this high-performing school has consistently outperformed the New York City Geographic District #32 and the overall New York state in academic proficiency.

One of the key factors that sets PS 376 apart is its strong academic performance, particularly among its African American and Hispanic student subgroups. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked 18th out of 857 New York elementary schools for its African American students and 160th out of 1,429 for its Hispanic students in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency. This is a remarkable achievement, as these subgroups often face achievement gaps in many schools. Additionally, the school's 5th grade ELA proficiency rate of 77.27% is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the district, which range from 15.79% to 36.36% proficiency.

Another notable aspect of PS 376 is its consistent improvement over the years. The school has steadily climbed in its statewide ranking, going from 1,715th out of 2,345 New York elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 399th out of 2,439 in 2022-2023. This progress is particularly impressive given the challenges faced by the New York City Geographic District #32, which PS 376 is a part of. The school's ability to overcome these obstacles and provide high-quality education to its diverse student population makes it a standout example of effective educational practices.

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.

Open Quote HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! THIS IS THE WORST SCHOOL EVER! DO NOT BE FOOLED BY IT'S TEST SCORES. THE PRINCIPAL IS RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND FAKE. THE WORST PTA IN THE AREA. THEY DO NOTHING FOR THE CHILDREN. WHEN I TALK TO OTHER PARENTS FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IN THE AREA THEIR PTA IS VERY ACTIVE IN THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. I CAN NOT WAIT TILL MY CHILDREN FINISH AND THEY ARE OUT OF THIS SCHOOL. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS SCHOOL. WHEN YOU ENTER THEY TRY TO WHOA YOU WITH THEIR ROBOTS AND TECHNOLOGY BUT THEY LACK IN THEIR EDUCATION. MY CHILDREN ARE STILL STRUGGLING READERS BUT THE SCHOOL IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT PUTTING THEM IN FRONT OF TECHNOLOGY. BEWARE!!! Close Quote

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.
