Ps 419

Summary:

PS 419 is a middle school located in Flushing, New York, serving grades 6-7 with a total enrollment of 188 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 528 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. For the 2023-2024 school year, PS 419 ranked 1301 out of 1504 New York middle schools and received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 419 has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 6th grade ELA, PS 419 had a 26.98% proficiency rate, while the district and state averages were 40.01% and 43.64%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female students (1312 out of 1465 NY middle schools), male students (1177 out of 1464 NY middle schools), and low socioeconomic status students (979 out of 1296 NY middle schools). Additionally, PS 419 has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 94.68% in the 2022-2023 school year.

While the nearby schools, such as Corona Arts and Sciences Academy and IS 61 Leonardo Da Vinci, also have relatively low academic performance, some other nearby schools, like IS 145 Joseph Pulitzer and Forte Preparatory Academy Charter School, have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at PS 419 likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the school, though the school's spending per student ($15,656) and student-teacher ratio (13.4) are within the range of the nearby schools.

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.
