Summary

PS 211 is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 183. 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.

PS 211 has consistently shown low academic performance compared to state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, PS 211 had 88% proficiency compared to 54.15% for the state and 36.22% for the district. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1215 out of 2445 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 2269 out of 2439 in 2022-2023. The school has also struggled to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools for English Language Learners and Special Education students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as PS 44 David C Farragut, Colibri Community School, and School of Science and Applied Learning, have generally outperformed PS 211 in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. However, these nearby schools also serve a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the academic challenges at PS 211.
