Summary

Ps 35 Clove Valley School (The) is an exceptional elementary school located in Staten Island, New York, serving 394 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. This school consistently ranks among the top 1-2% of elementary schools in the state, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly outperforming the district and state averages in academic proficiency.

Ps 35 Clove Valley School (The) stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates reaching 98.15% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 65.32% for the district and 54.15% for the state. The school also excels in the performance of diverse student subgroups, ranking among the top 10-20 elementary schools in New York for female, male, Asian, Hispanic, and white students, as well as for students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This commitment to equity and inclusive education is a notable achievement.

While the nearby schools in the New York City Geographic District #31 generally have lower academic performance, higher rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, and higher student-teacher ratios, Ps 35 Clove Valley School (The) stands out as an exemplary institution that could provide valuable insights for other schools and districts seeking to improve their academic outcomes.
