Summary

PS 14 is an elementary school located in Troy, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 457 students. It is part of the Troy City School District, which is ranked 674 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, PS 14's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 1293 and 1871 out of around 2,400 New York elementary schools, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 14's student performance on state assessments is generally below the Troy City School District and New York state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) was 42.25% at PS 14, compared to 52.26% for the Troy City School District and 54.15% for New York state. Similar patterns are observed in math and science assessments, with PS 14 consistently underperforming compared to the district and state. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, around 74% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its overall academic underperformance.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Troy City School District, such as PS 16 and PS 18, generally outperform PS 14 on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in ELA, math, and science. However, these nearby schools also serve lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. Despite PS 14's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes remain below the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student performance.

School 14 is a wonderful school. They have the best teachers. It is also the responsibility of the parents or guardians to make sure they are prepared for academic challenges. Children are in school for 6hrs a day with lunch daily then art, music and gym. Teacher need help from parents and caretakers. Close Quote
