Summary

PS 86 Irvington (The) is an elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 358 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #32, which is ranked 743 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a 2-star rating, PS 86 Irvington (The) has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past several years, currently at 1650 out of 2445 schools.

The school's student performance on state assessments generally underperforms compared to the district and the state of New York in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across grades 3-5. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 44.9% of 3rd graders, 28.57% of 4th graders, and 55.32% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 40.44%, 35.38%, and 45.25%, respectively, and the state's 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61%. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and Homeless students ranking higher compared to other subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as PS 106 Edward Everett Hale, PS 116 Elizabeth L Farrell, and PS 377 Alejandrina B De Gautier, also perform below the state average in ELA and Math assessments, with similar challenges in student subgroup performance. However, the nearby charter schools, such as Achievement First-Bushwick Charter School and Success Academy Charter School-Bushwick, consistently outperform PS 86 Irvington (The) and the state average in both ELA and Math assessments.
