Summary:
Achievement First Linden Charter School is the only school in the data set, serving students in grades K-8 in Brooklyn, New York. This diverse charter school has a student population that is predominantly African American (80.03%) and Hispanic (14.15%), with a fluctuating academic performance and ranking over the past few years.
The school's statewide ranking has varied significantly, from a relatively high 4 out of 5 stars in 2018-2019 to a much lower 2 out of 5 stars in 2021-2022. This inconsistency in performance is reflected in the school's mixed academic proficiency, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state average, while others, like 3rd grade math, struggle significantly below the state average. Despite the high spending of $17,182 per student, the school appears to face challenges in ensuring consistent academic success across all grade levels.
Overall, Achievement First Linden Charter School serves a predominantly minority student population in Brooklyn, but its fluctuating academic performance and ranking suggest the need for further analysis to understand the drivers of the school's strengths and weaknesses, and how the high per-student spending can be better utilized to improve outcomes for all students.
