Ps 327 Dr Rose B English has a predominantly African American student population, with 66.39% of students identifying as African American, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with stronger proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the district and state averages, but lower performance in 4th and 5th grade ELA and Math. The school's performance is relatively stronger for African American students and special education students compared to other subgroups. Ps 327 Dr Rose B English also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.85% to 96.26%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the high spending per student at Ps 327 Dr Rose B English, ranging from $25,915 to $38,107 over the past four school years, the school's academic performance is still below the district and state averages in many areas. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes, and that other factors, such as instructional practices and school leadership, may play a crucial role. Continued efforts to address the school's areas of weakness, while building on its strengths, may be necessary to improve overall academic achievement.

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.
