Ps 67 Mohegan School, Bronx NY - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Ps 67 Mohegan School

PS 67 Mohegan is a small elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the East Bronx, with an enrollment that spans from the youngest learners through the upper elementary grades. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student body is predominantly Hispanic, with substantial Black enrollment and very small numbers of other racial and ethnic groups. The school sits in a neighborhood marked by dense urban fabric and walkable commercial corridors, part of the broader Bronx landscape of mixed residential and commercial blocks.

The school's state assessment results show a clear pattern: proficiency strengthens as students move up through the grades. In third grade, mathematics proficiency sits below half, and English language arts performance is markedly lower still. By fifth grade, the picture shifts substantially. Mathematics proficiency reaches a strong level, and ELA proficiency rises to similarly high performance. Science proficiency in fifth grade sits below half. Across all tested grades, student participation in assessments is high, ranging in the low-to-mid eighties, and the school's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile among Bronx County districts, a meaningful strength in a high-need context.

The profile of results suggests that fifth graders have solidified foundational skills, particularly in mathematics and reading, while younger grades are still building those foundations. A parent considering this school might want to look into the school's approach to literacy and mathematics instruction in the earlier grades, particularly given that District 12 recently adopted the Into Reading program and will transition to Illustrative Mathematics in elementary classrooms beginning fall 2026. These are systemwide curriculum changes that affect how and what young children are taught, and they may influence early proficiency trajectories.

The school itself offers no visible alternative programs, specialized tracks, or extended offerings visible in the available data. Special education enrollment data and English learner rates were not available, so the school's capacity to serve students with disabilities or emerging bilinguals is not clear from this record. Staffing, attendance, discipline, and other school environment details were similarly absent from the public reporting.

The neighborhood around Mohegan Avenue has been experiencing substantial development and investment. The Bronx as a whole is in a strong growth phase for affordable housing, with major projects like Fordham Landing South and La Central expanding the housing stock. Local employment anchors around health care, particularly Montefiore Medical Center. The area is walkable and served by subway and bus lines, with the planned Penn Access Metro-North expansions potentially adding transit access. Housing values in the zip code have appreciated, though rents remain the more accessible entry point for most families. The broader economic context includes moderate unemployment and rising shelter costs.

For a family seeking an elementary school with solid upper-grade proficiency and willingness to engage with curriculum transitions underway across the district, PS 67 Mohegan offers proximity to a walkable, transit-served neighborhood with active housing development. The early-grade proficiency data suggests families should understand the school's early literacy and math support clearly before enrolling younger children. The school serves a high-poverty student population and is embedded in a community experiencing real demographic and economic change.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
