Ps 213 New Lots

Summary:

PS 213 New Lots is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 218 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #19, which is ranked 745 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 213 New Lots consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.83% of 3rd graders, 15.79% of 4th graders, and 15% of 5th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to the district averages of 32.92%, 40.64%, and 34.92%, respectively. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with rankings for various subgroups, such as African American students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, consistently among the lowest in the state.

Despite the increase in per-student spending over the years, the academic performance of PS 213 New Lots has not shown any significant improvement, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges. Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Brooklyn Gardens Elementary School, PS 273 Wortman, and PS 190 Sheffield, generally outperform PS 213 New Lots in academic proficiency, with higher rankings and better test scores, indicating that there may be opportunities for PS 213 New Lots to learn from and collaborate with these higher-performing schools.

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.
