Summary

PS 15 Patrick F Daly is an elementary public magnet school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving 413 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #15, which is ranked 401 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $56,414 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.3 students per teacher, PS 15 Patrick F Daly has consistently underperformed compared to the district and the state of New York on the New York State Assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, who ranked in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools in both ELA and Math.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Brooklyn New School-PS 146 (The), PS 58 Carroll (The), and PS 29 John M Harrigan, have significantly outperformed PS 15 Patrick F Daly on the New York State Assessments, with higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by PS 15 Patrick F Daly may be unique and require targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve the educational experience and outcomes for its students.
