Summary

Ps 92 Mary McLeod Bethune is an elementary school in New York, NY that serves 170 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #5, which is ranked 701 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 92 Mary McLeod Bethune has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with some grades and subjects performing well above the district and state averages, while others struggle significantly. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had higher proficiency rates than the district and state in 4th and 5th grade ELA and Math, but 3rd grade ELA proficiency was much lower. The school's 5th grade science performance has also consistently lagged behind the district and state. With nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces demographic challenges that likely contribute to its uneven academic results.

When compared to nearby schools like Ps 175 Henry H Garnet, Ps 129 John H Finley, and Ps 154 Harriet Tubman, Ps 92 Mary McLeod Bethune is not alone in its performance challenges. However, nearby Sisulu-Walker Charter School Of Harlem and Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 5 consistently outperform the traditional public schools in the district, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in improving student achievement in this high-needs area.
