Brooklyn Academy Of Science And The Environment stands out for its higher percentage of African American students (64.15%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 18.01% to 82.75% African American. The school has also seen steady improvements in its graduation rates, increasing from 67.5% in 2018-2019 to 84.2% in 2022-2023, outperforming the 81.0% rate at Clara Barton High School. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has decreased from 8.3% to 0.0% over the same period, significantly lower than the 4.8% rate at Clara Barton High School.

The school's relatively high per-student spending of $19,014 in 2022-2023 suggests that funding and resources may not be the primary driver of its performance, and other factors, such as student engagement, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be more influential.

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.

Open Quote Very nice school but you need a real website and occasional open houses. You also need to make sure you focus on other subjects besides science, for example, math, social studies,and english language arts. You should also add more languages to learn, for example, sign language, french, and italian. I'm not sure if you have gym but you should. You should have more sports for both girls and boys. You also need more clubs and offer more partnerships. When I looked your school up it said it was a regular school but your very much lagging in regular school qualities. If you do have any of the stuff I typed in your school, you should probably list it in the brooklyn public high schools book. Close Quote

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.
