Summary

Stem Institute Of Manhattan is a public elementary magnet school in New York City's District #3, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 133. Despite spending significantly more per student than the district average, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stem Institute Of Manhattan significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.36% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 70.45% in the district and 54.15% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, special needs, and low-income students ranking in the bottom 20-30% of their respective subgroups statewide.

Interestingly, several nearby elementary schools, such as PS 165 Robert E Simon and PS 180 Hugo Newman, outperform Stem Institute Of Manhattan academically while serving similar student populations. Additionally, two nearby charter schools, Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 4 and Harlem Link Charter School, significantly outperform the school and the district/state averages in both ELA and Math proficiency, suggesting the charter school model may be more effective in this area.
