Clara Barton High School

Summary:

Clara Barton High School is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 1,178 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #17, which is ranked 614 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Clara Barton High School has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (78.86%) compared to the surrounding area and state, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of New York high schools, with a statewide ranking ranging from 482 to 1,035 out of 519 to 1,228 schools. The school's performance on Regents exams is also significantly lower than the district and state averages across various subject areas. Additionally, Clara Barton High School has a relatively low four-year graduation rate, ranging from 69.6% to 81.0%, and a higher dropout rate, ranging from 3.4% to 4.8%, compared to the surrounding schools. The school also faces a very high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 61.0% in the 2021-2022 school year.

However, the school's performance for certain subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) students, is better relative to their peers in the district and state, suggesting that the school may be providing additional support or resources for these populations. Nearby schools, such as Medgar Evers College Preparatory School, Brooklyn School For Music & Theater, and Brooklyn Academy Of Science And The Environment, generally perform better than Clara Barton High School on various metrics, including academic performance, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism, highlighting the need for the school to identify and implement effective strategies used by its higher-performing counterparts.

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.
