Launch Expeditionary Learning Charter School

Launch Expeditionary Learning Charter School is the only public charter middle school in this analysis, serving grades 6-8 in Brooklyn, New York. This school has a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population, with a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating it serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged community.

While Launch Expeditionary Learning Charter School has seen some improvements in its state assessment scores over the years, its overall ranking among New York middle schools has been relatively low, ranging from 611 out of 1500 schools in the most recent year to as low as 1095 out of 1479 schools in the previous year. The school's academic performance is mixed, with 7th and 8th-grade students showing relatively strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, while the 6th-grade students have struggled, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.

Despite the school's high spending per student of $25,973, its academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with this level of investment. This suggests that there may be opportunities to further refine the school's educational strategies and support systems to better serve its students and improve their overall academic achievement within the Launch Expeditionary Learning Charter School district.
