Ps 145 Andrew Jackson

Summary:

PS 145 Andrew Jackson is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 445 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #32, which is ranked 764 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 145 Andrew Jackson consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the New York City District #32 and statewide averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for female students, who ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools in recent years. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.8% to 91.77% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the school.

While the nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 123 Suydam and PS 274 Kosciusko, also perform poorly, some schools outside the district, like Bedford Stuyvesant New Beginnings Charter School, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance. This suggests that there may be systemic issues within the school or district that need to be addressed to improve student learning and achievement at PS 145 Andrew Jackson.

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.
