Summary:
Our World Neighborhood Charter School 2 is the sole elementary school (grades K-5) in the data set, located in Howard Beach, New York. The school is a public charter institution that serves a student population of 368, with a high percentage (79.35%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income community.
The school's academic performance shows a mixed picture, with some grade levels outperforming the state average on the New York State Assessments, while others lag behind. In 2023-2024, 3rd grade students achieved higher proficiency rates than the state average in both English Language Arts (51.85% vs. 42.6%) and Math (52.73% vs. 53.93%). However, 4th and 5th grade students fell short of the state averages in both subjects. Additionally, 5th grade Science proficiency was significantly lower than the state average (22.41% vs. 35%).
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($18,317 in 2022-2023) and a student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1, the Our World Neighborhood Charter School 2 district is ranked 570 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the district as a whole may be underperforming compared to other districts in the state, and the school may face unique challenges in ensuring consistent academic achievement across all grade levels.
