Summary

Archer Elementary School is a public elementary school in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 307 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.

Archer Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, and its performance on state assessments is significantly below the New York City District #12 and New York state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20-30% for female students, male students, Asian students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners, and slightly better for African American students and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 50%. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $35,457 in 2023-2024, which is significantly more than the district and state averages, this does not translate into improved academic outcomes.

Nearby schools in the same district, such as Bronx Little School and PS 536, perform slightly better than Archer Elementary on academic measures, but still struggle to meet state averages. In contrast, charter schools like Bronx Charter School for Excellence 2 and Icahn Charter School 2, which are located within a mile of Archer, significantly outperform the district and state on academic metrics. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the school's overall low performance indicate that Archer Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education and supporting the diverse needs of its student population.
