Summary

PS 452 is a high-performing elementary school located in New York City's District 3, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 387 students. The school has consistently ranked among the top 15% of New York elementary schools in recent years and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 452 students consistently outperform their peers in District 3 and the state of New York on standardized tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels. The school also demonstrates strong performance across various student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, and white students, as well as special education and low socioeconomic status students, all within the top 25% of New York elementary schools. This suggests the school has effective strategies in place to support the academic growth of all students.

Compared to other nearby schools in District 3, such as PS 452, PS 212 Midtown West, and PS 87 William Sherman, PS 452 generally outperforms them in academic proficiency rates, particularly in ELA and Math. This high performance may be attributed to the school's relatively high per-student spending of $28,653 and a low student-teacher ratio of 16.1, which could enable more personalized instruction and support for students.
