One of the key factors that differentiates PS 176 Ovington is its significantly higher percentage of Asian students (63.82%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 25-92% Asian students.

Additionally, PS 176 Ovington has maintained a strong statewide ranking, consistently placing in the top 15-20% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Another notable aspect of PS 176 Ovington is its exceptional performance in supporting the academic needs of traditionally underserved student subgroups, such as English Language Learners (ELLs), Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, and Homeless students. The school's ELL students, for instance, ranked 57 out of 1,001 New York elementary schools in 2022-2023, with a 5-star rating. This suggests that the school's effective teaching practices, strong leadership, and positive school culture contribute to the success of all students, regardless of their background or circumstances.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote The principal (Ms. Culkin) at this school is a strong, effective, and caring leader. Even in rain or snow, you will see her outside taking care of her kids. She genuinely cares for the students and takes time out to greet/listen to them. My kids are very lucky to have someone like her as their principal. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
