Evergreen Charter School

Summary:

Evergreen Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Hempstead, New York, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 966 students. The school has faced challenges in academic performance, with generally lower test scores on the New York State Assessments compared to the state average and nearby schools like Challenge Preparatory Charter School and Academy Charter School-Uniondale.

Evergreen Charter School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 25% (3rd grade) to 60.87% (8th grade), compared to the state averages of 42.6% to 51.88%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 18.57% (6th grade) to 62.5% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 50.56% to 58.03%. The school's performance on Regents exams is also mixed, with some subjects like Algebra II performing better than the state average, while others like Geometry and Earth Science lag behind. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.39% to 83.33%, suggesting a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the academic challenges, Evergreen Charter School has increased its spending per student from $15,077 in 2019-2020 to $17,433 in 2022-2023, and the student-teacher ratio has fluctuated between 10.4 and 14.6, which is generally lower than the nearby schools. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.3% to 37.8%, are higher than the nearby schools, which also have high chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these attendance issues may be an important area for improvement to support student learning and achievement.

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.

Open Quote They are not very helpful when answering questions about the program. I don't feel secure knowing that my child would benefit from this school. they don't provide mailing pamphlets to new parents and don't give enough information of the teachers credentials. Then one begins to wonder why the test scores are so low, my daughter is too smart to be placed in a classroom where no one speaks English. What a shame for a charter school. The registration lady could not give me information regarding charter school and public school. She put me on hold and never came back. Close Quote

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.
