Ps 109

PS 109 is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 542 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #22, which is ranked 412 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While PS 109 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1300-1800 out of around 2400 schools, the school appears to have relative strengths in supporting the academic performance of its African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and special education student subgroups. However, the school struggles to achieve proficiency levels on state assessments that are on par with the district and state, particularly in math, where proficiency rates are often 10-20 percentage points lower. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and above-average spending per student suggest that targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve overall academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, the performance of PS 109 is generally similar or lower, with some exceptions. PS 198, a magnet school within the same district, appears to outperform PS 109 on state assessments and has a higher statewide ranking. The two charter schools (Ivy Hill Preparatory Charter School and Central Brooklyn Ascend Charter School) located outside of PS 109's district show mixed results, with Central Brooklyn Ascend Charter School outperforming PS 109 on state assessments, while Ivy Hill Preparatory Charter School has more variable performance.
