Summary

New Bridges Elementary is a public elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 441 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #17, which is ranked 565 out of 874 districts in the state.

New Bridges Elementary has shown strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA). In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked in the top 36% of New York elementary schools for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ELA proficiency, outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school's math performance has been more mixed, with 3rd and 5th grade math proficiency rates above the district and state, but 4th grade math proficiency lagging behind. The school's 5th grade science performance has been consistently above the district average, though still below the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, New Bridges Elementary is performing relatively well. PS 770 New American Academy has consistently outperformed New Bridges Elementary in both ELA and math, ranking in the top 18% of New York elementary schools in 2024-2025. In contrast, PS 398 Walter Weaver has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 23% of New York elementary schools in the same year. The school's significant increase in per-student spending, from $18,688 in 2020-2021 to $31,146 in 2023-2024, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its academic success.

It's an amazing school that really educates and nurtures the whole child with emphases on the arts, and social and emotional intelligence, in addition to the academics. The administration also really values family engagement. Close Quote
