Ps 232 Lindenwood

Summary:

PS 232 Lindenwood is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Howard Beach, New York, with 805 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #27, which is ranked 582 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 232 Lindenwood exhibits a mixed performance profile. While the school generally performs below the district and state averages on state assessments, it stands out in certain areas, such as 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts and Regents exams in Earth Science and Algebra I, where proficiency rates exceed the district and state. However, the school struggles in many other areas, particularly in the lower grades and in Math. Significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, such as the low performance of Asian, White, and English Language Learner students, suggest potential equity issues that the school and district may need to address.

Compared to nearby schools, PS 207 Rockwood Park, a school in the same district, consistently outperforms PS 232 Lindenwood across most grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, schools in the neighboring New York City Geographic District #19, such as PS 224 Hale A Woodruff and PS 214 Michael Friedsam, generally perform worse than PS 232 Lindenwood, suggesting the school may be performing relatively well within its local context. The nearby Brooklyn Scholars Charter School also demonstrates strong performance, particularly in the upper grades, that the district school could potentially learn from.

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.
