As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote This school is excellent at knowing how to blow out money and ask for more.
All they care for is donations. Other than that, they follow the very strict Common Core curriculum and philosophy of "have the parents do the hard work and we'll take the credit" and "we'll stop at nobody and don't really care if your child learns or not".

Teachers are rude, they use overrated material that is badly written, they are unprepared and don't even know how to handle a violent student.

And, since we have no other choice, given that 75% of students fall below poverty limits, the principal simply does not care.

Logistics are bad, teachers are bad, policy is closed door, there's really nothing good I can say, my experience so far has been horrendus.

The community of parents is great, and so are the kids, but this chool is dehumanizing them and damaging them. Please apply to a different one or keep them at home. Close Quote

Open Quote Oh my, what memories. I attended this wonderful school from 1998-2005, starting in Kindergarten, ending in the 6th grade. The whole atmosphere of this school was so friendly and cozy now that I look back at it, especially compared to the changes it seems they have made now. The teachers I had were awesome. The nice, warm auditorium where we'd have assembly every Friday, strictly white shirt on that day! During lunch, Mrs. Velic and her general store, those delicious ice cream sandwiches. The janitors were really cool too, hey Frank! I remember ESL with Mrs. Klausner, "Take a special pretzel." :) Mrs. SeMarie's library. Those bookmarks we'd get with every book we'd check out. Those beanbags we'd get to sit on while watching a movie afterwards. There's just so much more! I had a really wonderful experience at P.S. 199! A really precious elementary school. I miss it a lot. If only time travel existed, so I can go back to relive my childhood memories, P.S. 199 being a part of it. Peace and Blessings. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
