Summary

Sheridan Academy For Young Leaders is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 436 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.

Sheridan Academy For Young Leaders consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,833 and 2,355 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranging from 28.57% to 35.71% across grades 3-5, compared to 54.07% to 56.61% for the state. In math, the proficiency rates ranged from 23.91% to 55.36%, compared to 54.16% to 59.7% for the state. The school's performance on science assessments is also low, with only 10.64% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 45.02% for the state.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio at Sheridan Academy For Young Leaders, the school's academic performance remains significantly below state and district averages. Nearby schools, such as Family School (The), located in the same building, have significantly higher proficiency rates and rank in the top half of New York elementary schools. This suggests that simply increasing funding and reducing class sizes may not be enough to improve student outcomes at the school, and that other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may need to be addressed.

I have had nothing but good grades and supportive staff so far with my son's school career. The teachers have been super communicative with me and very patient with my son and with myself. Close Quote
