Summary

PS 32 Belmont is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 541 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 708 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 32 Belmont consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,596 and 2,279 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the New York City District #10 and New York state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 43.28% of 3rd graders, 32.18% of 4th graders, and 34.18% of 5th graders at PS 32 Belmont were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 54.15% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

While the nearby schools in the same district generally perform better than PS 32 Belmont on state assessments, they still lag behind the state averages, indicating broader challenges within the district. However, the nearby Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School, located just 0.06 miles from PS 32 Belmont, outperforms the traditional public schools in the area, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the surrounding district and state averages. This suggests that the charter school model may be providing better educational outcomes for students in this community.

I wouldn't send my dog to this school. The teachers do NOT care about their kids. A lot of the teachers have no classroom management at all. It's total chaos. The school is like a zoo. Sending my child here was the worst decision that I made in life. Close Quote

While this school claims to be the top school in the Bronx, their school leadership is poor. They don't look out for a child's best interests. My child went to this school for a half year and I had to transfer her into Catholic School when a little boy touched her inappropriately. The assistant principal called me in when my daughter cried and refused to go to the class where the boy was in. Even after they changed her class, she didn't feel safe. The assistant principal didn't believe that she was touched and the little boy didn't get any kind of punishment. Even when my daughter named out some of the other little girls he touched. The guidance counselor instead asked if it was possible that she was being touched at home. I finally took her out of the school and but her in Catholic School. She is so much happier. I wish there were safer choices for our children's zone schools. Close Quote
