Summary

Ps 46 Edgar Allan Poe is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 635 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 out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Ps 46 Edgar Allan Poe consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 38.04% of 3rd graders, 41.03% of 4th graders, and 50% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 43.39%, 43.65%, and 47.34%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also lower, with only 32.63% of 3rd graders, 45.35% of 4th graders, and 35.24% of 5th graders being proficient or better, compared to the district's 46.08%, 45.01%, and 41.28%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for African American students but struggles with Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students.

Ps 46 Edgar Allan Poe's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 95.59% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. The nearby schools in the same district, such as Ps 8 Isaac Varian and Ps 85 Great Expectations, also struggle academically, with similar or lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to Ps 46 Edgar Allan Poe. This suggests that the challenges faced by Ps 46 Edgar Allan Poe are not unique and may be systemic within the district.
