Summary

Fairmont Neighborhood School is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 244 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.

Fairmont Neighborhood School consistently performs below the New York City Geographic District #12 and the state of New York in terms of proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments. The school's performance on the assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's African American and English Language Learner students performing relatively better compared to their peers in the district and state, while the school's Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students have consistently underperformed. Despite its relatively high per-student spending and fluctuating student-teacher ratio, Fairmont Neighborhood School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past several years.

The data analysis of Fairmont Neighborhood School reveals significant challenges in academic performance, particularly among certain student subgroups, as well as potential concerns around resource allocation and the school's ability to effectively utilize its funding and staffing. Addressing these issues will require a multifaceted approach that targets the specific needs of the school and its diverse student population. Nearby schools like Vida Bogart School For All Children (The), PS 214, and PS 6 West Farms may offer insights into more effective strategies for supporting student learning and achievement.
