Summary:
Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-5 in the Sisulu-Walker Charter School Of Harlem district, with an enrollment of 142 students. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in math, where proficiency rates consistently exceed the statewide averages. In 2023-2024, 70.59% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 53.93%.
Despite its academic success, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from #347 out of 2,434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to #814 in 2023-2024. This suggests the need to investigate potential factors contributing to the relative decline in performance. Additionally, the school's spending of $26,470 per student is significantly higher than the state average, and further analysis would be needed to understand how this funding is being utilized and its impact on student outcomes.
One notable limitation in the data is the lack of information on the school's free/reduced lunch rate, which is an important indicator of the socioeconomic status of the student population. This information would provide valuable context for understanding the school's performance and the challenges it may face. Overall, Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem appears to be a strong-performing elementary school, but the decline in its statewide ranking and the missing data warrant further investigation to fully understand the school's performance and context.
