PS 75 EMILY DICKINSON vs PROFESSOR JUAN BOSCH PUBLIC SCHOOL

PS 75 Emily Dickinson and Professor Juan Bosch Public School are both top-tier elementary schools in New York City, but Professor Juan Bosch Public School holds a meaningful edge in state standing. Professor Juan Bosch ranks #6 of 4,739 schools in New York, compared to PS 75 Emily Dickinson at #24 of 4,739 — a gap that places Bosch in a rarified tier even among high performers. The overall rating difference is narrow at 0.2 points (9.4 vs. 9.2), but the state rank delta tells a sharper story about how each school compares to peers statewide.

On academic and growth measures, Professor Juan Bosch Public School leads in both categories. Its academic score of 9.0/10 runs 0.5 points ahead of PS 75 Emily Dickinson's 8.5/10. Growth scores are nearly identical — Bosch at 9.9/10 and Emily Dickinson at 9.8/10 — indicating that both schools are exceptionally strong at moving students forward year over year regardless of where they start. The academic gap, while modest in absolute terms, is consistent with the state rank separation and suggests Bosch students are achieving at a slightly higher tested proficiency level.

PS 75 Emily Dickinson enrolls 480 students compared to Professor Juan Bosch Public School's 245, making Dickinson roughly twice the size. Despite the larger enrollment, Dickinson actually posts a lower student-teacher ratio — 6.6:1 versus Bosch's 7.7:1 — meaning families at Emily Dickinson get more adults per student in the building. On economic context, Bosch serves a higher share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch: 78% versus Dickinson's 69%. Both figures reflect schools serving predominantly lower-income communities, and both are delivering elite academic outcomes within that context.

Both schools serve grades KG–05 and sit approximately 5.0 miles apart within New York City. Neither school separates itself on grade span or school level — the distinction is entirely in scale, staffing density, and the slim but real academic and ranking gap favoring Professor Juan Bosch Public School.
