Summary

Emily Warren Roebling School (The) is an exceptional elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving 584 students in grades K-5 and part of the New York City Geographic District #13.

This school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in New York, with a statewide ranking between 80-162 out of over 2,400 schools in recent years and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating exceptional academic performance. The school's performance across different student subgroups is also noteworthy, ranking in the top 25-150 schools in New York for various demographics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 94.57% in English Language Arts and 94.68% in Math, significantly outperforming the New York City Geographic District #13 and the state of New York.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Ps 307 Daniel Hale Williams and Ps 287 Bailey K Ashford, Emily Warren Roebling School (The) significantly outperforms its peers, with much higher test scores and rankings. The school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, high per-student spending, and low student-teacher ratio suggest it may have access to more resources and a more advantaged student population compared to other schools in the district, though further analysis would be needed to determine the specific drivers of its success.
