Ps 188 Michael E Berdy

Summary:

Ps 188 Michael E Berdy is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 256. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #21, which is ranked 515 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 188 Michael E Berdy faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math that are well below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 22.86% compared to the district's 46.61% and the state's 44.89%. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 2247 out of 2439 schools in the 2022-2023 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Ps 101 Verrazano (The) and Ps 100 Coney Island School (The), significantly outperform Ps 188 Michael E Berdy in academic achievement, with much higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as higher statewide rankings and more favorable student-teacher ratios. Despite the high poverty rates and low academic performance, Ps 188 Michael E Berdy has a relatively high per-student spending, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of funding, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning.

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.
