Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School

Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School is the only public charter high school serving grades 8-12 in the area, with a total enrollment of 454 students. Based on the available data, this school appears to be underperforming compared to other high schools in New York. With a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 1209 out of 1242 New York high schools, Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

The school's performance metrics are consistently below the state averages. Its four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on Regents and state assessments are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 19.3% of students proficient in Regents/Common Core Algebra I compared to the state average of 31.42%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is a concerning issue that can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

Despite the school's lower student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which is better than the state average, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students. The school's high percentage of students (78.41%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to the school's struggles. While the school spends $26,767 per student, which is higher than the state average, this additional funding does not appear to be effectively improving the school's performance.
