Summary

PS 146 Howard Beach is an elementary school serving 515 students in grades PK-8 in the New York City Geographic District #27. Over the past 10 years, the school has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top 25-30% of New York elementary schools.

PS 146 Howard Beach stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the New York City District #27 and New York state averages on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math. The school is particularly successful in serving Hispanic and Special Education students, ranking in the top 40% and top 30% of New York elementary schools respectively for these subgroups. This high performance is likely attributable to factors like the school's relatively high per-student spending of around $31,850 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.6 compared to surrounding schools.

While PS 146 Howard Beach has an impressive track record of academic excellence, the surrounding schools in the same district exhibit a wide range of performance, with some like PS 100 Glen Morris performing at a similar high level, while others like PS 232 Lindenwood lag behind. Maintaining a focus on equity and addressing the needs of all student subgroups will be crucial for PS 146 Howard Beach to build on its impressive achievements.
