Summary

Ps 3 Raul Julia Micro Society is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Bronx, New York, with a total enrollment of 302 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 708 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 3 Raul Julia Micro Society has consistently low academic performance compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranged from 13.04% to 63.33%, while the district and state averages were significantly higher. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school but still lagging behind the district and state averages. English Language Learners and students with disabilities also struggle, with lower proficiency rates compared to their peers.

While Ps 3 Raul Julia Micro Society has a relatively high per-student spending of $36,253 in the 2023-2024 school year, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. In contrast, the nearby Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School, Bronx Charter School For Excellence 5, and Zeta Charter School - Bronx Tremont Park demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state averages. This highlights the potential impact of alternative educational models on student outcomes.
