Summary:
Edmund W Gordon Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School is the only public charter middle school in this analysis, serving grades 6-8 in Brooklyn, New York. The school faces some significant challenges, with mixed academic performance on state assessments and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of over 34%.

Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate could be a key focus area, as it likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.
Despite the school's apparent investment of resources, the academic outcomes do not yet fully reflect this investment. Improving consistency in academic performance, better supporting the high-need student population, and addressing attendance issues could be important priorities for Edmund W Gordon Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School as it works to improve outcomes for its students.
