PS 110 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE vs PROFESSOR JUAN BOSCH PUBLIC SCHOOL

PS 110 Florence Nightingale and Professor Juan Bosch Public School sit 10.3 miles apart in New York City, yet both rank among the very top elementary schools in the state. Professor Juan Bosch holds the stronger overall position — rated 9.4/10 against PS 110 Florence Nightingale's 9.2/10, and ranked #6 of 4,739 schools in New York compared to Florence Nightingale's #21. That gap of 15 state rank positions is meaningful in a field of nearly 5,000 schools, even though both land in the top half of one percent.

The two schools diverge in how they earn their scores. PS 110 Florence Nightingale leads on academic achievement, posting a 9.3/10 academic score versus Professor Juan Bosch's 9.0/10 — a concrete edge in proficiency levels. Professor Juan Bosch counters with an exceptional growth score of 9.9/10 against Florence Nightingale's 9.3/10, a 0.6-point spread that signals students at Bosch are accelerating relative to peers at a faster rate. For families weighing current performance against trajectory, that distinction is the most consequential number on the page.

Professor Juan Bosch enrolls 245 students compared to Florence Nightingale's 264, and the staffing differences are notable: Bosch's student-teacher ratio is 7.7:1 versus Florence Nightingale's 9.1:1, giving Bosch students more direct adult attention per classroom on average. Bosch also serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students — 78% free or reduced-price lunch versus 68% at Florence Nightingale — and is achieving its top-six state rank with that population, which speaks directly to the strength of its growth score.

On grade span, PS 110 Florence Nightingale adds a pre-kindergarten program (PK–05), while Professor Juan Bosch begins at kindergarten (KG–05). For families with children younger than five, Florence Nightingale is the only option of the two. Both schools are small-enrollment, high-ratio elementary programs, but the pre-K availability at Florence Nightingale gives it a structural advantage for families planning early entry and multi-year continuity in one building.
