This standout school has consistently outperformed the state average on New York State Assessments in both English Language Arts and Math across grades 3-5, with particularly impressive 3rd grade proficiency rates well above the state average.

Despite the high economic need of the student population, as indicated by the 76.38% free/reduced lunch rate, Brighter Choice Charter School For Girls has made progress in improving its statewide ranking, moving from 1632 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1139 out of 2445 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school is making strides in addressing the needs of its students and becoming more competitive compared to other elementary schools in New York.

While Brighter Choice Charter School For Girls stands out for its exceptional 3rd grade performance, the declining scores in the upper grades may indicate challenges in maintaining academic momentum as students progress through the grades. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student suggest it has adequate resources to support its students, but the equity concerns raised by the high free/reduced lunch rate suggest the school may face unique challenges in addressing the needs of its student population.
