Ps 48 Mapleton

Summary:

PS 48 Mapleton is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 507 students. It is part of the New York City Geographic District #20, which is ranked 242 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 4-star rating.

While PS 48 Mapleton's student performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA), the school's performance in Math is closer to the district and state averages. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80.87% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its overall academic performance. Interestingly, the nearby PS 192 Magnet School for Math and Science Inquiry and PS 205 Clarion generally perform better than PS 48 Mapleton on state assessments, especially in ELA.

However, PS 48 Mapleton's investments in resources and staffing, as well as the strong performance of certain student subgroups, suggest opportunities for improvement. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, and its student-teacher ratio has improved, which may contribute to its academic performance, particularly in Math. Additionally, the performance of homeless students at PS 48 Mapleton is a concern, highlighting the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by this student subgroup and ensure their academic success.

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.
