P.S. 032 Belmont

P.S. 032 Belmont is an elementary school in the Bronx serving students from Pre-K through 5th grade. The school is a zoned neighborhood institution, fostering strong community ties and actively promoting literacy engagement through events like Family Literacy Day. Parent feedback from recent surveys is overwhelmingly positive, with nearly all parents expressing satisfaction with their child's education and the school environment. While the school maintains a very low suspension rate (0%) and offers small average class sizes (18.5 students), academic proficiency in both ELA (35%) and Math (26%) falls below the citywide 25th percentile. [cite: ela_proficiency_pct, math_proficiency_pct, suspension_rate, avg_class_size] The school serves a diverse student body, including a high percentage of students from low-income families, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, and offers Bilingual Special Education and Transitional Bilingual Education (Spanish) programs. [cite: ell_pct, frpl_pct, iep_pct, 4] Some older online reviews, however, have raised concerns regarding school leadership and parent-teacher communication.
