Summary

Ps 76 Bennington School (The) is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 612 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 627 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 76 Bennington School (The) has consistently low academic performance compared to the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math well below the state and district levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 32.86% in 3rd grade ELA, 71.15% in 4th grade Math, and 40.3% in 5th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 54.15%, 58.64%, and 54.16%, respectively. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2033 out of 2352 elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1426 out of 2445 in 2024-2025. However, the school's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students have relatively higher rankings compared to other subgroups, with the ELL students ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools in 2024-2025.

The nearby Ps 96 Richard Rodgers, located within the same district, has significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math across all grade levels, ranking in the top 15% of New York elementary schools in 2024-2025. In contrast, some nearby schools, such as Ps 41 Gun Hill Road and Ps 121 Throop, also struggle with low academic performance, similar to Ps 76 Bennington School (The). The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Ps 76 Bennington School (The) may be a contributing factor to the school's overall low academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can significantly impact student achievement.
