Summary

New American Academy At Roberto Clemente State Park (The) is an elementary school in the Bronx, New York, serving 371 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 750 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math that are significantly lower than the district and state averages, often by 20 percentage points or more. Its performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools in ELA proficiency.

Despite the increased funding and resources, with spending per student rising from $20,302 in 2020-2021 to $36,187 in 2023-2024, New American Academy At Roberto Clemente State Park (The) has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance over the past several years.
