P.S. 067 Mohegan School

Last year, 52.5% of students met ELA proficiency standards and 59% met math standards — both meaningfully above the District 12 averages of 44.6% and 43.3%. The bigger story is the trajectory: in 2016, fewer than one in five students passed either test, and by 2023 those figures had climbed to 62.5% ELA and 73.7% math. There's real year-to-year volatility — 2022 saw a sharp dip to 27.9% math, likely pandemic-era — but the rebound has been strong. A clear grade-by-grade pattern emerges: third-graders are well behind (25% ELA, 31.3% math), but by fifth grade proficiency roughly doubles (78.8% ELA, 81.8% math), suggesting the school does its best work keeping students on track as they age up.

The 2025 survey paints an unusually positive picture. Parent-principal trust hit 99%, parent-teacher trust hit 99%, and the survey's "strong relationships" measure reached 100% — meaning every parent who responded said the school has strong relationships, an extraordinary result. Parent satisfaction (93%) beat the district average of 91.8%. Teachers also reported strong trust in leadership (90%) and instructional quality (86%, near district norms). The flip side is chronic absenteeism at 54%, meaning more than half of students missed enough school to be flagged — and overall attendance (89.5%) sits just below the district's 90.1% average. On discipline, zero suspensions over three reporting years is a genuinely unusual record.

The student body is 68% Hispanic and 29% Black, with about one in five students classified as IEP — including those in the school's self-contained special education classrooms. Total enrollment of 349 puts P.S. 067 in the small-to-medium range for district elementary schools, with class sizes around 22 (about average for District 12). The neighborhood demographics echo the school's: West Farms is a predominantly Hispanic and Black community where poverty runs high (46.5%) and only 9.5% of households include children, meaning the surrounding blocks aren't dense with school-age families.

West Farms sits in the central Bronx, a renter-majority neighborhood where homeownership is the exception at 5.6% and median home values are surprisingly high relative to incomes — a sign of older housing stock rather than affluence. With only 10.8% of adults holding a bachelor's degree, the area skews toward working-class households, many of them younger. The 2/5 subway line threads through the neighborhood, with three stops within walking distance of the school.

The 2/5 trains at West Farms Square–East Tremont Avenue (about a 7-minute walk), 174th Street (about 10 minutes), and East 180th Street (about 12 minutes) connect families to the rest of the Bronx and into Manhattan.
