Q: Is Port Richmond School For Visionary Learning a good school?

Summary:

Port Richmond School For Visionary Learning is an elementary school serving 403 students in grades PK-5 in Staten Island, New York, which is part of the New York City Geographic District #31.

Despite the school's focus on visionary learning, Port Richmond School For Visionary Learning has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past four years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly below the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Homeless students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of schools statewide. In comparison, nearby schools like PS 54 Charles W Leng, PS 30 Westerleigh, and PS 21 Margaret Emery-Elm Park generally outperform Port Richmond School For Visionary Learning on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 77.92% to 79.9% over the past three school years, suggests a need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address these disparities. While the school's performance for certain subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is relatively better compared to the overall school performance, the consistent decline in the school's statewide ranking over the past four years indicates a need for a comprehensive improvement plan to drive 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.

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.
