Summary

PS 213 New Lots is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 187 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #19, which is ranked 726 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 213 New Lots consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools, with performance on state assessments significantly below the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 25% to 38.46%, compared to the district's 47.24%-54.17% and the state's 54.07%-56.61%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 38.89% to 60.71%, again lagging behind the district (50.27%-59.04%) and the state (54.16%-59.7%). The school's performance on the 5th-grade science assessment was also low, with only 33.33% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 32.75% and the state's 45.02%.

The school serves a high-poverty student population, with nearly 95% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $25,312 in 2020-2021 to $45,176 in 2023-2024, and the student-teacher ratio has decreased from 12.4 in 2021-2022 to 10.3 in 2023-2024, the academic outcomes have not shown a corresponding improvement. Nearby schools, such as Brooklyn Gardens Elementary School, Ps 273 Wortman, and Ps 190 Sheffield, generally outperform PS 213 New Lots on academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
