However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students is comparatively stronger, ranking in the top half of New York elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025. The school's significant fluctuations in per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest that it may be facing resource challenges or inconsistencies in funding and staffing.
