Teachers College Community School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in New York City's New York City Geographic District # 5, with 326 students from diverse backgrounds. While the school generally outperforms the district average on state assessments, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 4 stars out of 5 in 2018-2019 to just 2 stars in the most recent 2022-2023 school year.
The school's African American and Hispanic students tend to perform better than their district peers, ranking 470 out of 857 and 850 out of 1,503 New York elementary schools, respectively, in 2022-2023. However, the performance of students with special needs and those from low-income backgrounds lags behind, with the school's special education students ranking 1,972 out of 2,031 and its low-income students ranking 1,451 out of 2,099 in 2021-2022. When compared to nearby charter schools like KIPP Star College Prep and Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 6, Teachers College Community School's performance appears to be somewhat lower, particularly in Math.
Overall, while Teachers College Community School is a relatively strong performer within its district, it faces challenges in maintaining its statewide ranking and addressing disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. The school may benefit from examining the practices of higher-performing nearby charter schools to identify opportunities for improvement.
