Summary

Ps 59 Community School Of Technology (The) is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 374 students. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $23,690 to $40,969 over the past few years, its academic performance consistently ranks among the lowest in the state.

Ps 59 Community School Of Technology (The) has faced significant challenges, with its statewide ranking ranging from 2115 to 2400 out of around 2,400 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the New York City Geographic District #10 and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools for these groups.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district (New York City Geographic District #10) and in neighboring districts (New York City Geographic District #9 and New York City Geographic District #12) generally perform better than Ps 59 Community School Of Technology (The) on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Ps 59 Community School Of Technology (The) may be specific to the school itself, rather than the broader district or geographic area. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, over 99% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance, and addressing the unique needs of these students could be crucial for improving the school's overall outcomes.
