Summary

Ps 127 Aerospace Science Magnet School is an elementary school located in East Elmhurst, New York, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,154 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #30, which is ranked 382 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's focus on aerospace science, Ps 127 Aerospace Science Magnet School consistently ranks in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math around 30-40%, significantly below the district and state averages of 55-65%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 80-85% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, when comparing Ps 127 Aerospace Science Magnet School to the nearby schools in the same district, such as Ps 148, Ps 92 Harry T Stewart Senior, and Ps 149 Christa McAuliffe, these schools generally perform better on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just the district-level resources and policies may be influencing the school's underperformance, and the school may need to re-evaluate its educational programs and resource allocation to better support the unique needs of its student population.
