Summary

PS 340 is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 610 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 708 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, PS 340 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1660-2194 out of 2,400+ schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas, particularly for English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the bottom 20% of ELL students statewide. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $37,987 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, the school's academic outcomes suggest that additional resources and support may be needed to address the specific needs of the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby KIPP Bronx Charter School II outperforms the district and state averages on academic assessments, despite serving a similar student population. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from effective practices in charter schools and apply them to improve outcomes at PS 340. Additionally, the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the large proportion of English Language Learners may be contributing factors to the school's overall academic underperformance, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to address achievement gaps.
