Summary

The School Of Science And Applied Learning (The) is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 388. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #12, which is ranked 760 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in New York State Assessments, is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 17.86% in ELA and 15.79% in Math, compared to the district averages of 36.22% and 44.33%, respectively, and the state averages of 54.15% and 59.7%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 2265 and 2316 out of 2434-2445 schools over the past several years, and has received a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students and English Language Learner students. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.58% to 96.04% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families. While the school's spending per student has been relatively high, ranging from $23,103 to $39,849 over the past few years, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Colibri Community School (The), Ps 67 Mohegan School, and Ps 44 David C Farragut, as well as nearby charter schools like Children's Aid College Preparatory Charter School and Zeta Charter School - Bronx Tremont Park, significantly outperform the School Of Science And Applied Learning (The) in academic proficiency and statewide rankings, despite serving a similar student population.
