Summary

PS 214 Michael Friedsam is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 745 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 214 Michael Friedsam has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 940 (2020-2021) and 1,869 (2016-2017) out of over 2,200 to 2,400 schools. Its performance on state assessments is also below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 30% to 60% in English Language Arts and 40% to 60% in Math. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Homeless students performing relatively better, while Asian, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students perform poorly.

The nearby schools, such as PS 938, PS 224 Hale A Woodruff, and PS 345 Patrolman Robert Bolden, have similar demographic and performance characteristics to PS 214 Michael Friedsam. However, the two charter schools in the area, Our World Neighborhood Charter School 2 and Cypress Hills Ascend Charter School, outperform the traditional public schools in both academic achievement and student subgroup performance, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in serving the needs of the local community.
