Summary

Ps 71 Rose E Scala is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades KG-8 with a total enrollment of 1,157 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 71 Rose E Scala consistently outperforms the district and the state of New York in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 61.68% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45.87% for the district and 54.15% for the state. In Math, 74.77% of 6th graders were proficient or better, compared to 38.07% for the district and 51.2% for the state. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners, often ranking in the top quartile or top half of New York elementary schools for these groups.

When comparing Ps 71 Rose E Scala to nearby schools, the Icahn Charter School 3, Icahn Charter School 4, and Icahn Charter School 5 consistently outperform Ps 71 Rose E Scala and the other nearby public schools in both ELA and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. This suggests that the Icahn Charter School model may be more effective in driving academic achievement compared to the traditional public school system in the area. Additionally, the nearby schools with higher percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients tend to have lower academic performance compared to Ps 71 Rose E Scala and the Icahn Charter Schools, indicating that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the academic outcomes of these schools.
