of 2,445 New York Elementary Schools

Better than 8% of New York elementary schools

Summary

PS 11 Highbridge is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 421 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 750 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 11 Highbridge consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,566 and 2,255 out of 2,201 to 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. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 24.49% to 40%, compared to 36.58% to 40.91% for the district and 54.07% to 56.61% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 25% of their respective statewide subgroups.

While PS 11 Highbridge has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the district and state averages, the nearby KIPP NYC Washington Heights Academy, Bronx Academy of Promise, and Family Life Academy charter schools outperform PS 11 Highbridge and the nearby district schools on state assessments, with proficiency rates often exceeding 50% and statewide rankings in the top half of New York elementary schools. This suggests that the high concentration of economic disadvantage and English Language Learners at PS 11 Highbridge may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, and that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Sunday, September 5, 2010

I worked at this school as an ATR for one year and rate this school and principal E. Hachar and her APs as excellent. The school has added fifth grade for 2010-2011, which may not be reflected in other internet informational pages. Staff development for teachers is excellent, after school and Saturday programs provide additional support for students. The school has two separate buildings, a K-1 and a 2-5. it is located near the historic Highbridge, the famed footbridge between Manhattan and the Bronx (which is now under restoration). The bridge entry area has a charming little park next to it, walking distance from the school.
