Summary

Bedford Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Bronx, New York, with 469 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.

Bedford Park Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 41.33% compared to the district's 43.39% and the state's 54.15%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for male students, special education students, and students with low socioeconomic status in ELA and Math. Despite relatively high spending per student ($30,024 in 2023-2024) and a low student-teacher ratio (12.2 in 2023-2024), the school's academic performance has been declining over the past few years.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 94 Kings College School and PS/IS 54, also perform poorly, with similar low proficiency rates in ELA and Math, suggesting that the challenges facing Bedford Park Elementary School may be systemic within the district. However, the nearby Bronx Community Charter School, located just 0.07 miles away, has significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state averages, providing a potential opportunity for learning and improvement.
