Summary

PS 157 Grove Hill is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 409 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #7, which is ranked 777 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 157 Grove Hill has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a statewide ranking between 1786 and 2177 out of around 2,400 schools. It has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger throughout this period. The school's performance is below average across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs. PS 157 Grove Hill has an extremely high percentage of students (over 96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 161 Juan Ponce De Leon and South Bronx Literacy Academy, also perform poorly, with similar low rankings and proficiency rates. In contrast, the charter schools in the area, such as Brilla Veritas Charter School and Storefront Academy Charter School, significantly outperform PS 157 Grove Hill and the district average on state assessments. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at PS 157 Grove Hill, the school's student-teacher ratio is similar to the nearby district schools, suggesting that increased spending has not translated into significantly smaller class sizes or improved student outcomes.
