Summary

PS 102 Jacques Cartier is an elementary school in New York City's District 4, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 236 students. The school has consistently underperformed academically compared to the district and state averages, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on state assessments.

PS 102 Jacques Cartier faces significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its student population, which has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's rankings have been in the bottom 20-25% of New York elementary schools for most of the past decade, and it has struggled to meet the needs of various student subgroups, particularly Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes.

Interestingly, the schools in the immediate vicinity of PS 102 Jacques Cartier, such as PS 155 William Paca, PS 83 Luis Munoz Rivera, and Bilingual Bicultural School, have generally outperformed PS 102 on state assessments and have higher school rankings, suggesting that the challenges faced by PS 102 may be unique and require targeted interventions to address the specific needs of its student population.
