Brooklyn Arts And Science Elementary School

Summary:

Brooklyn Arts And Science Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 275 students in grades PK-5 in the New York City Geographic District #17. Despite a relatively high per-student spending of $24,062, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state on state assessments, ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools.

The school's performance is particularly low in English Language Arts, with only 34.62% of 3rd graders and 28.57% of 5th graders proficient, compared to 39.36% and 41.99% in the district, respectively. Math proficiency is also an issue, with just 44.44% of 3rd graders meeting standards, compared to 51.76% in the district. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but African American, male, and low-income students struggling.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as PS 241 Emma L Johnston and PS 316 Elijah Stroud perform significantly better than Brooklyn Arts And Science Elementary School, even though they serve similar student populations. The presence of nearby charter schools, like Explore Exceed Charter School and Achievement First Endeavor Charter School, may also be contributing to the challenges faced by the school as families seek alternative educational options.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
