Summary

PS 134 Henrietta Szold is an elementary school in New York City's District 1, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 201. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, PS 134 Henrietta Szold significantly underperforms compared to the District 1 and statewide averages on New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of 3rd graders, 50% of 4th graders, and 6.67% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 66.73%, 68.39%, and 65.83% for District 1, respectively.

Additionally, PS 134 Henrietta Szold struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and low socioeconomic status students.

The two charter schools in the area, Manhattan Charter School and Manhattan Charter School II, also outperform PS 134 Henrietta Szold on academic measures, despite serving a similarly high-poverty student population.
