Summary

PS 28 Mount Hope is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 593 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. Over the past decade, PS 28 Mount Hope has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1667-2096 out of around 2,400 schools.

The school's student performance on state assessments is generally below the New York City District #9 and New York state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 48.24% of 3rd graders, 45.07% of 4th graders, and 43.06% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 38.32%, 36.58%, and 40.91% respectively. In math, the school performed better, with 63.74% of 3rd graders, 37.97% of 4th graders, and 44.74% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the district averages of 48.69%, 38.32%, and 35.51%. The school has a relatively high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, with 95.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as PS/Middle School 4 Crotona Park West and Icahn Charter School 6, significantly outperform PS 28 Mount Hope on state assessments, with many of their student subgroups ranking in the top 10-20% of New York elementary schools. These higher-performing schools serve similar student populations in terms of socioeconomic status, but appear to be more effective in supporting student learning and achievement. While PS 28 Mount Hope has access to substantial resources, with a high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school's consistently low performance, particularly among its most disadvantaged student subgroups, suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies, curriculum, and support services to better meet the needs of its students.
