Summary

PS 143 Louis Armstrong is an elementary school located in Corona, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,458 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.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $17,558 to $30,767 over the past few years, PS 143 Louis Armstrong consistently performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 18.83%, compared to 45.61% for the district and 54.15% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Asian and Hispanic students, who are ranked significantly lower than the overall school ranking.

When comparing PS 143 Louis Armstrong to the nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 16 Nancy Debenedittis School, Pioneer Academy, and PS 19 Marino Jeantet, these nearby schools generally perform better on state assessments and have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These comparisons suggest that the nearby schools may be more effective in supporting student learning and addressing the needs of their student populations, despite serving similar demographic communities.
