East New York Elementary School Of Excellence

Summary:

East New York Elementary School Of Excellence is a public elementary school serving 370 students in grades PK-5 in the New York City Geographic District #19 in Brooklyn, NY. Despite high per-student spending, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with only 24.53% of 3rd graders, 21.74% of 4th graders, and 16.36% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to district averages of 32.92%, 40.64%, and 34.92%, respectively.

The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students in both English Language Arts and Math. When compared to nearby public schools, such as PS 159 Isaac Pitkin, which outperforms East New York Elementary School Of Excellence across all grade levels and subject areas, the performance gap is significant. Additionally, some nearby public charter schools, like Achievement First Apollo Charter School and Brooklyn Scholars Charter School, are able to achieve much higher proficiency rates despite serving a similar demographic of students.

The data suggests that despite the high per-student spending and additional resources, East New York Elementary School Of Excellence has not shown consistent improvement in its academic performance over the past decade. The school's consistently poor academic performance, particularly for its most vulnerable student subgroups, indicates the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of effective interventions to improve student outcomes.

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.
