PS 177 Marlboro (The) is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 869 students. It is part of the New York City Geographic District #21, which is ranked 537 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 177 Marlboro (The) has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, moving from #1487 in 2015-2016 to #865 in 2023-2024, a significant jump. The school's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, particularly in math, with 71.21% of 4th graders proficient or better in 2023-2024 compared to 61.6% for the district and 58.03% for the state. However, the school's performance on English Language Arts (ELA) assessments is more mixed, with 3rd and 5th graders scoring below the district and state averages, while 4th graders perform better. The school has a strong performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top 10% of New York elementary schools for this subgroup in 2023-2024, and also performs well for students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school's performance for Asian and White students is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools for these subgroups.

PS 177 Marlboro (The) has a relatively high per-student spending of $18,643 in 2022-2023, which is above the district and state averages, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the district and state averages. These factors suggest that the school is allocating resources effectively to support student learning, which may be contributing to its overall improvement in performance. However, the school may need to address equity concerns for certain subgroups and continue to focus on improving ELA outcomes to ensure that all students are receiving a well-rounded education.

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.
