Better than 13% of New York elementary schools

Summary

PS 5 Ellen Lurie is an elementary school located in New York City's District 6, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 385 students. Despite a relatively high per-student spending of around $42,500 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 students per teacher, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 5 Ellen Lurie significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 25-44% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 47-57% for the district and 54-60% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25% of Hispanic students and 39% of students with disabilities were proficient in ELA, compared to 54-57% for the district and state.

While PS 5 Ellen Lurie has a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school has not shown any consistent improvement in its academic performance over the past decade. Nearby schools, such as Amistad Dual Language School, Professor Juan Bosch Public School, and Washington Heights Academy, generally outperform PS 5 Ellen Lurie on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that the issues at PS 5 Ellen Lurie are not solely due to the demographics of the student body, but rather a reflection of the school's own challenges in effectively educating its students.
