Ps/Is 268

Summary:

PS/IS 268 is an elementary and middle school located in Jamaica, New York, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 638 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.

PS/IS 268 faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance and serving its diverse student population effectively. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 25.86% (3rd grade) to 55.74% (7th grade), compared to the district's 42.13%-52.04% and the state's 42.6%-51.88%. In math, the proficiency rates at PS/IS 268 ranged from 23.44% (5th grade) to 55.56% (8th grade), while the district and state had higher proficiency rates. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with the school's rankings for subgroups like female students, male students, Hispanic students, and students with low socioeconomic status generally in the bottom half or bottom third of New York elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as PS/IS 116 William C Hughley, PS 131 Abigail Adams, and PS 95 Eastwood, generally outperform PS/IS 268 on state assessments, with some schools ranking in the top half or top quarter of New York elementary schools. However, the nearby schools in the neighboring District #28, such as Queens School For Leadership And Excellence (The) and PS 182 Samantha Smith, have a more mixed performance, with some schools performing better and others performing worse than PS/IS 268.

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.
