The school has consistently ranked in the top 50% of New York elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math that are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in the upper grades. The school's performance is especially strong for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, where the school ranks in the top 25-30% of New York elementary schools. With a diverse student population, the school serves a significant proportion of African American (34%) and Hispanic (41%) students, as well as a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (84.36%).

Compared to nearby schools, the New York French-American Charter School stands out for its consistent academic performance and its ability to effectively serve its diverse student population. While other nearby schools, such as Ps 180 Hugo Newman and Teachers College Community School, have similar or slightly better performance in ELA and Math, the New York French-American Charter School excels in serving traditionally underserved student groups, which may be attributed to its high per-student spending and potential resource advantages.

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.

Open Quote We love this school. It’s both structured yet nurturing, academic yet familial. The teachers are all-stars: kind, attentive, dedicated, and highly educated. My kids love going to school everyday, an experience that was very different to my own. I wish I could have gone to a school like this as a kid. Close Quote

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.
