Summary:
Brownsville Ascend Charter School is the sole school in the data set, serving grades K-8 in Brooklyn, New York. As part of the Brownsville Ascend Charter School District, which is ranked 500 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school faces some challenges but also shows areas of strength.
The school's test scores on the New York State Assessments are inconsistent, with 8th grade ELA proficiency significantly higher than the statewide average but 5th grade Math and Science proficiency much lower. Similarly, the school's Regents exam performance in Living Environment is below the statewide average. However, the school has a very high percentage of students (93.46%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population that may require additional resources and support.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,264, its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 1118 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1331 out of 2445 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be losing ground compared to other elementary schools in the state. Further analysis and investigation would be needed to fully understand the factors contributing to the school's performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
