Summary

Ps 119 Amersfort is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 398 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.

Ps 119 Amersfort has consistently underperformed compared to the district and the state in terms of proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the proficiency rates for Ps 119 Amersfort were lower than the district's rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ELA and Math. The school's performance in Science for 5th grade was also lower, with a proficiency rate of 28% compared to the district's 44.69%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively better performance for African American students but significantly lower performance for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $31,027 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.2 in 2023-2024 is higher than the nearby schools, such as Ps 222 Katherine R Snyder, which demonstrates significantly higher academic performance. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning in the classroom. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, review resource distribution, and explore best practices from higher-performing nearby schools to improve the overall educational experience and outcomes for all students.
