What Parents Should Know

At 179 students, PS 46 Albert V Maniscalco is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

At 9.9:1 students to teachers, PS 46 Albert V Maniscalco sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

59% of students at PS 46 Albert V Maniscalco were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
