Summary

PS 44 David C Farragut is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 193 students. Despite serving a high-need student population, with 96.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in recent years.

In the 2024-2025 school year, PS 44 David C Farragut ranked 729 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments are significantly higher than the New York City Geographic District #12 and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 78.26%, compared to 42.81% for the district and 56.61% for the state. The school's performance is especially strong for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the top 25% and top 40% of New York elementary schools, respectively, in ELA and Math.

However, some nearby charter schools, such as Children's Aid College Preparatory Charter School and Zeta Charter School - Bronx Tremont Park, have even stronger academic performance, suggesting that the school could potentially learn from their best practices.
