Summary

Ps 18 Park Terrace is an elementary school located in New York, NY, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 220 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #6, which is ranked 642 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 18 Park Terrace faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the state and district averages. The school's student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, also perform poorly compared to their peers across the state. Despite the school's high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance remains low, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges.

In contrast, nearby schools like Paula Hedbavny School and Ps 98 Shorac Kappock perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. Additionally, the nearby Zeta Charter School - Inwood stands out as a high-performing school, with proficiency rates significantly above the state and district averages and a ranking among the top 5% of New York elementary schools. This suggests that a strong educational model and targeted resources can make a significant difference in student outcomes, even in areas with a high concentration of students from low-income families.
