Summary

PS 47 John Randolph is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 831 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #12, which is ranked 760 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($31,077 in 2023-2024) and low student-teacher ratio (13.1 in 2023-2024), PS 47 John Randolph consistently performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 43.97% of 3rd graders, 25.45% of 4th graders, and 30.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 36.22%, 38.4%, and 42.81%, respectively, and the state's 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for male students, Asian students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

The challenges faced by PS 47 John Randolph appear to be systemic within the district, as nearby schools such as PS 195 and PS 196 also perform poorly, with similar low rankings and academic proficiency rates. This suggests that a comprehensive and targeted intervention may be necessary to improve student outcomes across the district and address the equity concerns raised by the school's performance data.
