Brooklyn STEM Academy

Summary:

Brooklyn STEM Academy is an elementary school in Brooklyn, Indiana, serving 227 students in grades PK-4 as part of the MSD Martinsville Schools district.

Brooklyn STEM Academy stands out as a relatively high-performing school within its district. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.95%) compared to nearby schools, and it outperforms the district in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grades. For example, in 2023-2024, 45.9% of Brooklyn STEM Academy students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 35.66% for the district. In Math, 55.74% of Brooklyn STEM Academy students were proficient or better, compared to 40.77% for the district. However, the school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (23.6%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 6.4% to 17.0%.

Despite the school's strong academic performance, it serves a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (48.9%) compared to some nearby schools, such as Centerton Elementary (33.05%) and Green Township Elementary (40%). This suggests the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the higher chronic absenteeism rate and potentially impact academic performance. Overall, Brooklyn STEM Academy appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, but the high chronic absenteeism rate and socioeconomic factors are areas that warrant further investigation and potential intervention.

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.
