Ps 108 Assemblyman Angelo Del Toro Educational Complex

Ps 108 Assemblyman Angelo Del Toro Educational Complex is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in New York City's District 4, with 364 students in the East Harlem neighborhood. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 108 consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.05% to 51.61% in English Language Arts and 22.86% to 42.42% in Math in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with the school's rankings for subgroups like Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in the bottom quartile of the state. Despite spending significantly more per student ($41,866 in 2023-2024) compared to the district and state averages, this has not translated to improved academic outcomes, and the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in District 4 show a wide range of academic performance, with some schools like Ps 171 Patrick Henry and Tag Young Scholars performing exceptionally well, while others like Mosaic Preparatory Academy and Lexington Academy struggle, similar to Ps 108. Additionally, the charter schools in the area, such as East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School II and Amber Charter School East Harlem, generally outperform Ps 108 on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations.
