Summary:
PS 24 is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 530 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #15, which is ranked 394 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending, ranging from $21,990 to $26,851, PS 24 has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1786-2154 out of 2,400-2,445 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and it struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with low rankings for subgroups like female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs.
Interestingly, nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 94 Henry Longfellow and School of Creativity and Innovation, consistently outperform PS 24 on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings, despite serving a similar demographic of students. Additionally, the outlier success of PS 172 Beacon School of Excellence, which is located within the same district as PS 24 but has consistently ranked among the top 10% of New York elementary schools, suggests that it is possible for a school in the same geographic area to achieve high levels of academic success, even with a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
