SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,500 New York Middle Schools

Better than 11% of New York middle schools

Summary

Is 49 Berta A Dreyfus is a public middle school located in Staten Island, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 392 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #31, which is ranked 403 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Is 49 Berta A Dreyfus consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state of New York in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 29.41% of 6th graders, 30.34% of 7th graders, and 33.04% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 58.84%, 62.14%, and 60.65%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for its Asian, African American, and Hispanic student populations, which rank in the bottom 40-50% of New York middle schools.

Interestingly, the nearby IS 2 George L Egbert and IS 51 Edwin Markham, which serve similar student populations, are able to achieve proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher than Is 49 Berta A Dreyfus. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to better meet the needs of its students.
