Ps 307 Daniel Hale Williams

Summary:

Ps 307 Daniel Hale Williams is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 315 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #13, which is ranked 617 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 307 has a significantly higher percentage of African American (45.71%) and Hispanic (30.48%) students compared to the nearby schools, which tend to have a more diverse student population. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math well below the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 24.24% of 3rd graders, 24.32% of 4th graders, and 23.08% of 5th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to the state averages of 44.89%, 48.79%, and 45.09%, respectively. The school also struggles to support its subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students performing significantly worse than their peers at the state and district levels.

The stark contrast in academic performance between Ps 307 and the nearby Brooklyn Prospect Charter School and Community Roots Charter School suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and instructional practices, may be critical in driving student success. Despite the relatively high level of funding per student at Ps 307 ($30,573 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby charter schools, which spend around $20,000 per student, the school's consistent 1-star rating and low proficiency rates indicate that there is significant room for improvement in providing a high-quality education to its 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.
