Summary

PS 295 is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 212 students. 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.

PS 295 has shown mixed academic performance compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 60.53% for 5th grade to 75% for 4th grade, which are generally higher than the district and state averages. However, in math, the proficiency rates ranged from 50% for 5th grade to 80% for 4th grade, which are more variable compared to the district and state. The school's performance is generally lower than nearby higher-performing schools, such as PS 39 Henry Bristow, PS 172 Beacon School of Excellence, and PS 107 John W Kimball, which have higher proficiency rates and state rankings.

The school's leadership and district should continue to monitor and address the challenges faced by PS 295. Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the disparities in student achievement, as the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the nearby higher-performing schools. The school's state ranking has also fluctuated over the years, indicating inconsistent performance, and the New York City Geographic District #15 should work to ensure that all students at PS 295 have the opportunity to succeed.
