Summary

PS 38 Rosedale is an elementary school located in Rosedale, New York, serving 232 students in grades K-5 and part of the New York City Geographic District #29.

PS 38 Rosedale consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with 78.95% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 58.56% in the district and 56.61% statewide. The school also has particularly strong performance among certain student subgroups, ranking 148th out of 928 New York elementary schools for African American students and 135th out of 1,569 schools for Hispanic students in ELA proficiency. However, the school's ranking for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is not as strong, suggesting these subgroups may need additional support.

While PS 38 Rosedale outperforms the district and state, some nearby schools, such as Clearstream Avenue School and Shaw Avenue School in the Valley Stream 30 Union Free School District, have even higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. Additionally, the analysis includes several high-performing charter schools, such as Success Academy Charter School - Rosedale and Success Academy Charter School - Springfield Gardens, which have significantly higher proficiency rates than PS 38 Rosedale and the surrounding district and state averages.
