Summary

PS 6 West Farms is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 399 students. Despite receiving significant funding, the school has consistently underperformed academically compared to the New York City Geographic District #12 and the state of New York.

PS 6 West Farms struggles with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, with only around 35% of 3rd-5th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the district's 36-43% and the state's 54-57%. The school also faces challenges in supporting the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings in the bottom 50% of New York elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. However, the school's performance for African American students is slightly better, ranking in the top 50% of schools.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the same district, such as Fairmont Neighborhood School, Colibri Community School, and PS 214, generally perform better than PS 6 West Farms in both ELA and Math proficiency, and have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the high per-student spending at PS 6 West Farms, the school's consistent underperformance suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and the effective allocation of resources to better support the unique needs of its student population.
