Elijah Stroud Middle School

Summary:

Elijah Stroud Middle School is a public middle school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 121 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Elijah Stroud Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low rankings and proficiency rates on state assessments. The school has a predominantly African American student population (67.77%), and a very high percentage of students (90.55% to 95.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's African American and Hispanic students perform relatively well compared to their peers in the district and state, the overall performance is dragged down by lower scores among other subgroups. Nearby schools, such as Ebbets Field Middle School, Middle School 61 Dr Gladstone H Atwell, and Is 340, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance to Elijah Stroud Middle School.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student, which suggests a focus on supporting its students, the academic outcomes do not yet reflect the level of investment. In comparison, some nearby schools in New York City Geographic District #15, such as Math And Science Exploratory School (The) and Middle School 51 William Alexander, have significantly higher academic achievement and more diverse student populations. By leveraging its resources and focusing on evidence-based strategies, Elijah Stroud Middle School may be able to close the achievement gap and provide a more equitable educational experience for 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.
