Summary:
The Cultural Arts Academy Charter School At Spring Creek is the sole elementary school located in the Cultural Arts Academy Charter School At Spring Creek district in Brooklyn, New York. Serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 208 students, the school faces significant challenges in academic performance and serving its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Despite spending $21,406 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's proficiency rates on New York state assessments are consistently below the statewide averages, particularly in math. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 36.84% compared to the state average of 53.93%. Additionally, 75.96% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16:1, suggesting smaller class sizes, this factor alone does not appear to be enough to overcome the school's other challenges. The data indicates that the Cultural Arts Academy Charter School At Spring Creek is facing significant obstacles in terms of academic performance and effectively utilizing its resources to support its high-poverty student population. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's struggles and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
