Summary

Ps 287 Bailey K Ashford is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 121 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #13, which is ranked 617 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 287 Bailey K Ashford consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,238 and 2,393 out of around 2,400 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students. Ps 287 has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

Despite the high per-student spending of over $41,000 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 9-11 students per teacher, Ps 287's academic performance has remained consistently low over the past decade. The nearby schools in the same district, such as Ps 46 Edward C Blum and Ps 307 Daniel Hale Williams, also struggle academically but generally perform better than Ps 287. However, the higher-performing schools in the area, such as Emily Warren Roebling School and the charter schools, demonstrate that strong academic outcomes are possible in this geographic region.
