Summary:
Harlem Link Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-7 in the Harlem Link Charter School district. This public charter school has a total enrollment of 364 students and faces challenges in academic performance compared to state averages.
Harlem Link Charter School's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments are mixed, with 3rd and 4th-grade math scores exceeding state averages but English Language Arts and 5th-grade math lagging behind. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 20.93% is significantly lower than the state average of 35%. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($24,983) and low student-teacher ratio (19.1:1), its academic performance has been inconsistent, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating between 1148 out of 2439 elementary schools in 2022-2023 (3-star rating) and 1656 out of 2434 in 2021-2022 (2-star rating).
The school serves a high-need population, with over 91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may face additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement. While the school's focus on providing resources and personalized attention is evident, more work is needed to address the root causes of the school's academic performance challenges and drive consistent improvements across all grade levels and subject areas.
