Summary:
La Cima Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the La Cima Charter School district in Brooklyn, New York, with a total enrollment of 199 students.
La Cima Charter School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 98.49% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance is relatively strong, with students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3 and 4. However, there is a significant drop in performance in grade 5, suggesting the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to support student success throughout the elementary years. The school's higher-than-average spending per student ($21,359) and lower student-teacher ratio (11.7) indicate that it has access to more resources compared to the state average, which may contribute to its relatively strong performance in the lower grades.
Over the years, La Cima Charter School has improved its statewide ranking, from 2 stars in 2018-2019 to 3 stars in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school is making progress and could potentially continue to improve with the right strategies and support. The school's diverse student population, with 56.78% African American, 37.19% Hispanic, 1.51% White, 1.01% Asian, and 1.51% Native American students, highlights the need for culturally responsive and inclusive approaches to education.
