Despite the school's diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, Hispanic, and Asian students, PS 46 Albert V Maniscalco has consistently low academic performance compared to the district and state averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly below the district and state levels across all grade levels. For example, in 5th grade, only 19.35% of students were proficient in ELA, compared to 55.57% in the district and 45.09% statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 87.89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing PS 46 Albert V Maniscalco to nearby schools, such as PS 35 Clove Valley School and Naples Street Elementary School, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically. These nearby schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math across all grade levels and lower percentages of students from low-income families. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, which has increased over the years, it has not translated into improved educational outcomes, and the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade.

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.
