Summary

Ps 62 Inocensio Casanova is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 440 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #8, which is ranked 731 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 62 Inocensio Casanova consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,880 and 2,161 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learner students, though it performs slightly better for special education students.

Despite the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 96% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and the increased spending per student, reaching $36,109 in the 2023-2024 school year, Ps 62 Inocensio Casanova has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the past 10 years. In contrast, the nearby Neighborhood Charter School-Bronx and Brilla Veritas Charter School significantly outperform Ps 62 Inocensio Casanova and other district schools on state assessments, highlighting the potential for alternative educational models to better serve the needs of students in this community.

I can really say this school has come a long way. The first moment I walked in my seven year old son in for the first day of school. The organization was breath taking. Teachers are caring and understanding. I am so glad I picked this school
Thanks to all. Close Quote
