Summary

PS 2 is an elementary school located in Troy, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 272 students. The school is part of the Troy City School District, which is ranked 674 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, PS 2 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 2344 out of 2445 schools and a 0-star rating.

The academic performance at PS 2, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.64% of 3rd graders, 10% of 4th graders, and 34.21% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 52.26%, 43.1%, and 43.57%, respectively. The math proficiency rates tell a similar story, with PS 2 lagging behind the district and state. Additionally, the school struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups, such as students with disabilities and African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 25-30% of their respective statewide subgroups.

When comparing PS 2 to other nearby schools within the Troy City School District, it becomes clear that PS 2 is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For instance, Carroll Hill School and PS 16 consistently outperform PS 2 on state assessments and have higher SchoolDigger rankings. Despite the high per-student spending and the school's efforts, PS 2's academic performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years, indicating a persistent challenge in improving student outcomes.
