Summary

PS 134 George F Bristow is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 425 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #12, which is ranked 760 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively high spending of $33,743 per student, PS 134 George F Bristow consistently performs below the district and state averages 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 21.05% compared to the district's 36.22% and the state's 54.15%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools.

In comparison, nearby schools like Samara Community School and Ps 66 School Of Higher Expectations have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher than PS 134 George F Bristow in both ELA and Math. This stark contrast in educational outcomes within the same district suggests that there may be systemic issues that need to be addressed to improve the quality of education for all students in the New York City Geographic District #12.
