Ps 74 Future Leaders Elementary School

Summary:

Ps 74 Future Leaders Elementary School is a public elementary school in Staten Island, New York, serving 247 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #31, which is ranked 410 out of 865 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its name, Ps 74 Future Leaders Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are significantly lower than the district and state averages, indicating a significant academic achievement gap. This low performance is likely due to the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's diverse student population, which includes a significant representation of African American and Hispanic students, also struggles to perform at the same level as their peers across the district and state.

Interestingly, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students and homeless students perform relatively better compared to other subgroups, ranking in the top 30% and top 50% of New York elementary schools, respectively. This suggests that the school may have some effective strategies or resources in place for these specific subgroups. However, the school's proximity to several other low-performing schools, such as Ps 16 John J Driscoll and Ps 31 William T Davis, indicates that there may be systemic challenges or resource constraints affecting the entire community. Addressing the underlying social and economic factors that contribute to the school's struggles, as well as implementing targeted academic interventions and community-based support services, may be necessary to improve the overall performance of Ps 74 Future Leaders Elementary School.

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.
