Summary

The School For Environmental Citizenship is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 403 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.

Despite the school's focus on environmental education, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. While Hispanic and Special Education students perform relatively better, the school struggles with English Language Learners and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the bottom quartile for these subgroups. The school's high spending per student, ranging from $18,390 to $33,076 per year, does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, and its student-teacher ratio is on the higher side, ranging from 11.6 to 14.4 over the past 3 years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as PS 279 Capt Manuel Rivera Junior, PS 15 Institute For Environmental Learning, and KIPP Freedom Charter School, generally outperform the School For Environmental Citizenship on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. The school's performance also varies widely across grade levels and subject areas, with 5th-grade students performing better than 3rd and 4th-grade students in both ELA and Math. Despite the consistent high spending, the school's performance has not shown any significant improvement over the past 10 years, remaining in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools.
