Summary

Ps/Is 323 is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 487. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #23, which is ranked 672 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps/Is 323 has shown a mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1122 to 2328 out of 2445 New York elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school performed significantly better than the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for 3rd and 4th grades, with proficiency rates ranging from 47% to 86%. However, the school's performance in 5th grade ELA and Math, as well as Science, has been relatively lower compared to the district and state. Interestingly, Riverdale Avenue Community School and Christopher Avenue Community School, which are nearby schools in the same district, have outperformed Ps/Is 323 in certain grade levels and subject areas.

Ps/Is 323 has a high percentage of students (over 94%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending has increased significantly over the years, from $16,812 in 2020-2021 to $33,519 in 2023-2024, suggesting a concerted effort to invest in the school's resources and support student learning. However, the fluctuating student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.3 to 13.7 students per teacher, suggests a need for more consistent staffing and resource allocation to maintain a stable learning environment.
