Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy Charter School


Summary:

Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in this area, with a total enrollment of 236 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past few years, indicating a need for improvement in academic outcomes.

The school serves a predominantly low-income, minority student population, with 80.51% African American and 15.25% Hispanic students. While the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 95.1% and a very low dropout rate of 0.0%, it struggles with an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 92.4%, which is likely a significant contributor to its overall poor performance. Despite spending $21,877 per student, which is relatively high, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution.

Overall, Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy Charter School appears to be a low-performing school that serves a disadvantaged student population. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate, improving academic outcomes, and exploring strategies to better support the unique needs of the student body may be crucial for the school's improvement.
