Additionally, English Language Learners and students with disabilities also perform below the school's overall averages. The school's high percentage of students (75.84% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a relatively low-income student population.

The school's performance has also fluctuated over the years, with a notable decline in its statewide ranking from 2020-2021 to 2023-2024. The school's socioeconomic challenges and performance gaps across student subgroups present opportunities for further analysis and targeted interventions to support student success.

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.

Open Quote Does what it needs to get by. After 6 years of promising parents to have a working website there is none. No longer a magnet school. Close Quote

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

Open Quote I graduated from this school one year ago, and it certainly had its flaws. But there was also a lot of great things about Prall, for instance the Ms. Penegacos and Ms. Suter (The Drama and Chorus teachers). They really try to form a good teacher-student relationship with every student from the moment you enter their room and take their plays very seriously.

Also, they had a fantastic After-School program, it included DJing, Dancing, Art, Cooking, Wall Street, Lego Robotics, Academics, Cheerleading and Teen Club. As you can see, there was definitely a lot to choose from when you are handed that survey.

Although I can't speak for every student, there a few fights but in general there is nothing too chaotic really going on. And getting into mischief, like anywhere else, can easily be avoided.

But if you are deciding between IS 27 and another school, I think you should go here, because it has some of the best teachers on Staten Island and I really think my three years there has made me a lot smarter book-wise, and honestly, street-wise too. 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.
