Summary

PS 73 Bronx is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 320 students. 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 73 Bronx consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 2000-2400 out of around 2400-2450 schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are significantly lower than the New York City District #9 and New York state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 23.81% compared to the district's 38.32% and the state's 54.15%. The school's performance on the 5th-grade Science assessment is also very low, with only 24.14% proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 23.24% and the state's 45.02%. The nearby schools in the same district, such as Grant Avenue Elementary School and PS 35 Franz Siegel, generally perform better than PS 73 Bronx, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings.

PS 73 Bronx spends a relatively high amount per student, with spending ranging from $26,525 to $37,511 per student over the past few years, and the school's student-teacher ratio is also relatively low, ranging from 11.7 to 14.3 students per teacher. However, these efforts do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's persistent low performance across multiple years and cohorts of students suggests that it may be facing deep-rooted challenges that require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address.
