Ps 36 Saint Albans School

Summary:

Ps 36 Saint Albans School is an elementary school located in Saint Albans, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 279 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #29, which is ranked 574 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Ps 36 Saint Albans School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 2221 out of 2445 schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.5% of 3rd graders, 35.9% of 4th graders, and 26% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.13% and 42.6% for the district and state, respectively. In Math, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, at 36.36% for 3rd grade, 25% for 4th grade, and 9.62% for 5th grade, compared to 51.66% and 53.93% for the district and state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students, as well as students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, tending to perform significantly worse than their peers.

While Ps 36 Saint Albans School spends a relatively high amount per student, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Ps 15 Jackie Robinson, Ps 136 Roy Wilkins, and Ps 118 Lorraine Hansberry, generally perform better on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. Additionally, charter schools in the area, such as Riverton Street Charter School and Success Academy Charter School - Springfield Gardens, significantly outperform Ps 36 Saint Albans School on state assessments. The school's performance with homeless students is a bright spot, as they ranked 310 out of 766 New York elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
