It also performs well with its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student populations, ranking in the top 20% and top 15% of New York elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups. However, the school's performance with White students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 45% of New York elementary schools for this subgroup.

Ps 4 Maurice Wollin's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments are generally above the district and state averages, particularly in Math. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, which is lower than the district and state averages, indicating a higher level of resources and support for students. This high level of resource investment may be contributing to the school's overall strong academic performance, which has been consistent over the past 10 years. As the school continues to evolve, it may want to explore ways to further support its White student population and maintain its high level of performance across all areas.

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.

My son has been attending this school since he was 4. The teachers and faculty are wonderful. My child is now 8 and is one of the special programs and is doing beautifully. We are treated with respect, kindness and understanding. My child is not just another number there. This is quite refreshing especially in this day and age. Close Quote

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.
