As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I love this school ! Had the best time of my life here Close Quote


by a parent
Saturday, April 16, 2011

Open Quote I.S. 5 Walter Crowley is a great school. The building is modern and nice. Teachers and staff are friendly and helpful. There are lots of clubs and programs. The school keeps the parents informed either thru the monthly PA meetings or phone broadcast (in multiple languages). There are theme nights (Science, Math, International, talent shows, concerts....). Last year they had a wonderful teacher-student basketball game. New running tracks, handball and basketball courts are being built in the school yard. Principal Mr Dantona is hands-on and very resourceful. He put in smart board in every classroom plus laptops. I saw iPads too. There are a lot of clubs and activities. There are trips to bowling, botanical garden and others. Kids are well behaved and the school is safe. The only down side is overcrowding and even with raffles in the PA meeting, the parent involvement is not at the level it should be. I strongly recommend IS5. This is my child's 3rd year and she with her classmates get accepted to specialized hight schools. Many thanks to the IS 5 teachers! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
