Summary

PS 307 Daniel Hale Williams is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with 283 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #13, which is ranked 617 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 307 consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking, with significantly lower performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.67% of 3rd graders, 12.5% of 4th graders, and 32.14% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 72.22%, 68.07%, and 62.76% for the district, respectively. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, ranking in the bottom 30-40% for various student subgroups.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($50,342 in 2023-2024) and having a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.1, PS 307's academic outcomes remain poor. In contrast, nearby schools like Emily Warren Roebling School and PS 184 Shuang Wen consistently rank in the top 5-10% of New York elementary schools and significantly outperform PS 307 on state assessments. The high percentage of students from low-income families at PS 307, reaching 81.27% in 2023-2024, suggests that the school may be facing complex challenges that go beyond just academic instruction, and a comprehensive, data-driven approach may be necessary to drive meaningful and sustainable improvements.
