Summary

PS 146 Edward Collins is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 310 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 146 Edward Collins has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1500-2200 out of around 2400 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas, particularly in 5th grade science where only 15% of students are proficient compared to the district's 29% and the state's 45%. The school struggles to support certain student subgroups, such as male students and English Language Learners, but performs relatively better for Hispanic students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as PS 130 Abram Stevens Hewitt and PS 140 Eagle School (The), have similar demographic and socioeconomic profiles to PS 146 Edward Collins, but generally perform better on academic measures. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, instructional practices, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the performance differences between these schools. Identifying and implementing effective practices from higher-performing schools, as well as targeted interventions for struggling subgroups, may be key to driving progress at PS 146 Edward Collins.

Principal and Assistant Principal along with other staff members show little or no concern over their students. Please look somewhere else, this school deserves to be closed. Close Quote

Parents, do yourselves a favor and keep your children out of this school. It is absolutely horrifying how they change your kids and turn them into monsters. The school in general is a mess and very dirty. The staff is the most disorganized and rude that I have encountered in my experience. They do whatever they want, whenever they want - and that includes - schedules, to lunch breaks, to changing your child's teacher around. Teachers are constantly yelling at the students for no aparent reason. If they have a problem with one student, they make it a point to take it out on all others. They want everything easy and when they can't have it that way, they make it seem as the child is the problem. They are so backwards with their teaching techiques. If you appreciate your child and want a decent education (which is what all children deserve), then please DO NOT SEND THEM TO THIS SCHOOL. Close Quote
