Summary

Linden Tree Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 313 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 627 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite relatively high spending per student ($34,207 in 2023-2024) and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, Linden Tree Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the district and state across all grade levels. The school's performance has been consistently low, with the school ranking in the bottom 10-20% of New York elementary schools for most of the past 8 years. Interestingly, nearby schools in the same district, such as PS/Middle School 498 Van Nest Academy and PS 106 Parkchester, generally outperform Linden Tree Elementary School in academic proficiency, despite serving similar student populations.

The school's underperformance is particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who consistently rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective statewide subgroups. The performance of English Language Learners and Special Education students is more mixed, with some years ranking in the top 50% and other years in the bottom 25%. These findings suggest that Linden Tree Elementary School may face challenges in addressing the needs of its diverse student population and providing equitable educational opportunities.
