Better than 21% of New York elementary schools

Summary

Ps 315 Lab School is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades K-8 with 188 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Ps 315 Lab School has a history of low performance, consistently ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years with a 1-2 star rating.

The school's student performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math consistently falling below the New York City District #10 and New York state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 60% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to 54.15% statewide, and only 29.17% were proficient in Math compared to 59.7% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.5% to 64.29% across grade levels. Ps 315 Lab School also struggles with Science assessments, with only 17.39% of 5th graders and 30.77% of 8th graders proficient in 2024-2025.

While Ps 315 Lab School spends a relatively high amount per student, with $35,754 spent per student in 2023-2024, the school's performance lags behind nearby schools in the district, such as Ps 246 Poe Center and Milton Fein School, which generally outperform Ps 315 Lab School on state assessments despite serving similar high-need student populations. Additionally, the presence of higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Amber Charter School Kingsbridge and KIPP Bronx Charter School II, may be drawing some of the highest-performing students away from Ps 315 Lab School, further exacerbating its challenges.
