Summary

Ps 35 Franz Siegel is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 380 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 750 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 35 Franz Siegel has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time period. The school's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments are significantly lower than the New York City District #9 and New York state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 47.37% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 38.32% for the district and 54.15% for the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Grant Avenue Elementary, Family School (The), and Sheridan Academy For Young Leaders, generally outperform Ps 35 Franz Siegel on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. For example, in 2024-2025, Family School (The) had 57.69% of 5th graders proficient in ELA, compared to only 38% at Ps 35 Franz Siegel. This suggests that Ps 35 Franz Siegel may need to examine its instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership to improve student outcomes.
