Summary

Ps 9 Sarah Anderson is an exceptional elementary school located in New York City's District 3, serving 497 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in New York state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year.

Ps 9 Sarah Anderson's students consistently outperform their peers in the district and state on standardized tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 5th grade ELA, 92.54% of Ps 9 students were proficient or better, compared to 73.41% in the district and 56.61% statewide. The school's performance is particularly strong across various student subgroups, ranking highly for Asian, White, and Multi-racial students, as well as for students with special needs.

While Ps 9 Sarah Anderson's high performance is commendable, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 13.88% to 20.43% over the past few years, suggests it may not be serving a representative cross-section of the local community. This raises questions about equity and access to high-quality education for students from lower-income backgrounds. Interestingly, the nearby Anderson School (The) consistently ranks among the top 5 elementary schools in New York state, providing a strong educational option in the area.
