Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending at PS 58, the school's performance has not shown substantial improvement. The nearby schools, such as PS 28 Mount Hope, PS/Middle School 4 Crotona Park West, and PS 163 Arthur A Schomberg, generally perform better than PS 58 on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. However, the charter schools in the area, such as Bronx Charter School for Excellence 5 and Zeta Charter School - Bronx Tremont Park, significantly outperform PS 58 and the other nearby public schools, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in this community.
