Summary

PS 315 is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 519 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #22, which is ranked 412 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 315 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1330 and 1926 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 46.97% to 50.57%, compared to 58.85% to 62.13% for the district and 54.07% to 56.61% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and English Language Learner students.

While PS 315 spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $21,230 to $34,918 per student over the past 4 years, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 217 Colonel David Marcus School, PS 193 Gil Hodges, and PS 139 Alexine A Fenty, generally perform better on state assessments. The only school that significantly outperforms PS 315 and the other nearby district schools is the charter school, Central Brooklyn Ascend Charter School, which has a statewide ranking in the top 20% of New York elementary schools and much higher proficiency rates on state assessments.
