Summary

PS 165 Edith K Bergtraum is an elementary school located in Flushing, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 640 students.

In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 75%, compared to 66.13% for the district and 56.61% for the state, while its 5th-grade Math proficiency rate was 73.61%, compared to 69.04% for the district and 54.16% for the state.

PS 165 Edith K Bergtraum's performance is particularly strong for its Asian and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking in the top 30% and top 40% of New York elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's performance for its African American and Special Education student subgroups is more mixed, with rankings in the middle to lower range of New York elementary schools. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $40,394 in the 2023-2024 school year and low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 suggest a significant investment in resources and staffing, which may contribute to the school's academic success.
