Summary

Ps/Is 155 Nicholas Herkimer is a public elementary and middle school serving 369 students in grades PK-8 in Brooklyn, New York, which is part of the New York City Geographic District #23.

The school has had a mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 949 out of 2,439 schools in 2022-2023 to 2,233 out of 2,413 schools in 2018-2019. However, the school has shown some strengths in certain student subgroups, ranking highly (top 20%) for African American students and English Language Learners in recent years. Despite the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, the school has been able to maintain a relatively high level of academic performance compared to other schools in the district and state.

When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, Ps/Is 155 Nicholas Herkimer generally performs better on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. The school's significant increase in per-student spending over the past few years may have contributed to its improved academic performance, though the relatively high student-teacher ratio suggests the school may still be facing resource constraints. Overall, the school appears to be making progress, with some notable strengths, but it continues to face challenges related to its student population and resource availability.
