P.S. 046 Edgar Allan Poe

P.S. 046 Edgar Allan Poe is a larger elementary school in the Bronx, serving students from Pre-K through 5th grade. The school is known for its strong commitment to literacy development, student-centered learning, and arts-based activities across all grades. Parent satisfaction is exceptionally high, with official surveys indicating overwhelmingly positive sentiment regarding the school environment and family engagement, and the school actively prioritizes family communication and workshops. It also maintains a very low suspension rate, contributing to a safe and supportive climate. The school serves a diverse student body, including a significant population of English Language Learners (well above the citywide median) and students with Individualized Education Programs (at the citywide 75th percentile). While some parents praise the teachers and positive experiences, others have raised concerns about bullying and inconsistent teaching. Academic proficiency in both ELA and Math is below the citywide median, which may be a consideration for some families. P.S. 046 offers a Spanish Dual Language program as a distinctive academic option, and its building is fully accessible.
