Summary:
La Cima Charter School is the sole elementary school located in the La Cima Charter School district in Brooklyn, New York. The school serves students from grades K-5 and has faced some challenges in its academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science, despite high levels of funding and resources.
La Cima Charter School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, ranking between 1144 and 1518 out of over 2,400 New York elementary schools. While the school's Math proficiency rates are above the state average, its ELA and Science proficiency rates are significantly below the state average. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum and instruction in these subject areas.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 98.49% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite its high per-student spending of $21,359 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7, the school's academic performance has not consistently met state standards. This indicates that the school may need to examine how its resources are being utilized to support student learning and address the unique needs of its high-poverty student population.
