Ps 127 Aerospace Science Magnet School

Summary:

Ps 127 Aerospace Science Magnet School is an elementary school located in East Elmhurst, New York, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,056 students. 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 127 Aerospace Science Magnet School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 80.78% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has relatively low student-teacher ratios and increasing per-student spending, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The nearby schools, such as Ivan Lafayette Early Childhood School Of The Arts (The), Ps 148, Ps 92 Harry T Stewart Senior, and Ps 149 Christa McAuliffe, generally perform better on state assessments than Ps 127 Aerospace Science Magnet School, with higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics.

To address these challenges, the school and New York City Geographic District #30 may need to closely examine the root causes of the academic underperformance, explore best practices from higher-performing schools, and implement comprehensive interventions and support systems to help all students, especially those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, succeed academically.

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.
