Summary

Bilingual Bicultural School (The) is an elementary school located in New York City's District 4, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 315 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a current ranking of 927 out of 2,445 schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bilingual Bicultural School (The) has struggled with student proficiency on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.93% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 54.15% statewide. Math proficiency was also low, with only 43.33% of 3rd graders meeting the standard. The school's performance on state assessments has been consistently below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. However, the school ranks in the top 15% of New York elementary schools for English Language Learners and in the top 8% for Special Education students, suggesting some strengths in supporting certain student subgroups.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $35,453 and low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 students per teacher, Bilingual Bicultural School (The)'s academic performance has not translated into strong student outcomes. The school is outperformed by nearby schools, such as PS 83 Luis Munoz Rivera, which has significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. Additionally, TAG Young Scholars, a public magnet school, is the highest-performing school in the area, with proficiency rates above 90% in both subjects across grade levels. To improve student achievement, Bilingual Bicultural School (The) may need to take a more comprehensive approach, focusing on factors beyond just funding and resources.
