Ps 24

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.

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.
