Summary

Ps 91 Richard Arkwright is an elementary school located in Glendale, NY that serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 782 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 544 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 91 Richard Arkwright has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in terms of proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments. The school's performance on the state assessments has been declining over the years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 1188 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1821 out of 2445 in 2024-2025. When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the same district, such as Ps/Is 119 Glendale (The), Ps 91 Richard Arkwright generally performs worse on the state assessments and has a lower statewide ranking.

The school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $18,794 in 2020-2021 to $33,584 in 2023-2024, does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.25% to 73.91% over the past few years, suggesting a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, particularly for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, suggest that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support to address these disparities.
