Summary:
The city of Saint Albans, New York, is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly African American student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While some schools, such as Riverton Street Charter School and Ps 360, stand out with consistently high academic performance and proficiency rates on state assessments, other schools in the district struggle with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The high-performing Riverton Street Charter School and Ps 360 have proficiency rates that exceed the state and district averages, indicating they are providing a quality education to their students. In contrast, schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Ps 136 Roy Wilkins and Ps 36 Saint Albans School, tend to have lower proficiency rates, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance.
The middle school, Is 192 Linden (The), stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio among the schools, which may contribute to its relatively stronger performance on state assessments compared to other middle schools in the New York City Geographic District #29. The high school, Pathways College Preparatory School: A College Board School, has a very high graduation rate but struggles with chronic absenteeism, an area of concern for the school.
