Q: Is Brooklyn Green School (The) a good school?

Summary:

Brooklyn Green School (The) is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Brooklyn, New York, with a total enrollment of 191 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #16, which is ranked 703 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brooklyn Green School (The) has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (67.54%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 58.19% to 83.24% African American students. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with 8th-grade ELA and Algebra I proficiency rates higher than the district, but 8th-grade math proficiency significantly lower. The school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 426 out of 1,242 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 1,062 out of 1,479 in 2021-2022. While the school performs relatively well for its African American and Hispanic students, it struggles with the performance of special education and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom 40% of New York middle schools.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Middle School 35 Stephen Decatur, IS 392, and New Heights Middle School, Brooklyn Green School (The) generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic proficiency, particularly in ELA and Algebra I. However, the school's math proficiency, especially in 8th grade, is significantly lower than the surrounding schools. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of around $23,000-$24,000 and small student-teacher ratio of 7-10 students per teacher, the academic outcomes do not yet fully reflect this investment.

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.
