Ps 41 Francis White

Summary:

Ps 41 Francis White is a small elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 154 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #23, which is ranked 691 out of 865 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 41 Francis White has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past several years, with test scores well below the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who consistently rank in the bottom 20-30% of schools in the state. However, the school's 3rd-grade students performed better than the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math in 2023-2024, suggesting some potential for improvement with the right interventions.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Ps 41 Francis White generally performs worse academically. For example, in 2023-2024, the school ranked 1383 out of 2445 New York elementary schools, while the nearby Ps 150 Christopher and Ps 184 Newport ranked 2177 and 2410, respectively. However, it's worth noting that these nearby schools also struggle academically and serve similar high-poverty populations, with over 96% of Ps 41 Francis White students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
