The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #30, which is ranked 415 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 76 William Hallet has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic proficiency, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the state average but still lagging behind the district. The school's performance for English Language Learners and students with low socioeconomic status is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools. Ps 76 William Hallet has been consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Ps 166 Henry Gradstein and Ps 171 Peter G Van Alst, perform significantly better than Ps 76 William Hallet on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates, better rankings, and more favorable student-teacher ratios. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these resources have not translated into improved student outcomes, suggesting the need for a more comprehensive approach to address the unique needs of the Ps 76 William Hallet community.

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.
