Summary

Ps 11 Thomas Dongan School is an elementary school located in Staten Island, New York, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade with a total enrollment of 292 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #31, which is ranked 403 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 11 Thomas Dongan School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in terms of proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments, with its English Language Arts (ELA) and math proficiency rates ranging from 48.65% to 55.88% across grades 3-5, while the district and state averages were significantly higher. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with English Language Learner (ELL) students ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools, while other subgroups, such as White, Hispanic, and Special Education students, ranked in the bottom 50%. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $38,673 and low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 students per teacher, its academic performance has been declining, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, Ps 11 Thomas Dongan School generally underperforms. For example, Ps 39 Francis J Murphy Junior and Ps 35 Clove Valley School (The) have significantly higher proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments and higher statewide rankings. However, the school's strong performance in serving English Language Learner students suggests that it may have effective strategies or resources in place to support this population, which could be an area of focus for the school to build upon and potentially share best practices with other schools.
