Junior High School 143 Eleanor Roosevelt

Summary:

Junior High School 143 Eleanor Roosevelt is a public middle school in New York City's District 6, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 193 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools over the past 10 years and receiving a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math well below the District 6 and New York state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 41.94% of 6th graders, 25% of 7th graders, and 26.32% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to district averages of 36.85%, 46.62%, and 43.73% respectively. The school's performance also varies greatly by student subgroup, with English Language Learners and students with disabilities performing relatively better than their peers.

Interestingly, despite spending significantly more per student ($34,440 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools, Junior High School 143 Eleanor Roosevelt's academic outcomes do not reflect this higher investment. For example, Mott Hall School, located less than a mile away, had proficiency rates in the 60-90% range on state assessments, far exceeding Junior High School 143 Eleanor Roosevelt's performance. While the school's overall performance is concerning, the relatively stronger performance of certain student subgroups suggests there may be opportunities to learn from the school's practices and apply them more broadly to improve outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
