Summary:
Brooklyn Dreams Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Brooklyn Dreams Charter School district, with a total enrollment of 616 students. While the school's performance is relatively average within the state of New York, it faces some challenges that are worth noting for parents considering educational options in the area.
Academically, Brooklyn Dreams Charter School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1493 out of 2434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to its current ranking of 1218 out of 2439 in 2022-2023. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are generally at or slightly above the statewide average, but its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are significantly lower, particularly in the lower grades. This uneven academic performance suggests the school may need to focus on improving its math and science instruction and support for students in these subject areas.
Another notable factor is the high percentage (70.13%) of students at Brooklyn Dreams Charter School who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's spending per student of $17,015 is higher than the statewide average, it is unclear whether this additional funding is being effectively utilized to address the needs of this economically disadvantaged student population and improve overall academic outcomes.
