Better than 21% of New York elementary schools

Summary

PS 24 is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 542 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 24 has consistently low academic performance compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 27.54% in 3rd grade to 57.41% in 4th grade, significantly lower than the district and state averages. In math, the proficiency rates ranged from 20.55% in 3rd grade to 43.08% in 4th grade, again well below the district and state levels. The school's performance is particularly low among certain student subgroups, such as White students and Homeless students, who ranked in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools in ELA and math.

Despite the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 90% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and relatively high per-student spending of $41,893 in the 2023-2024 school year, the academic performance remains low compared to the nearby schools, such as The School of Creativity and Innovation, PS 94 Henry Longfellow, and PS 172 Beacon School of Excellence, which generally outperform PS 24 in ELA and math proficiency. The school's small student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.6 to 10.3 over the past few years, suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices and targeted interventions, may be contributing to the school's challenges.
