Brooklyn Arts And Science Elementary School

Summary:

Brooklyn Arts And Science Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 275 students in grades PK-5 in the New York City Geographic District #17. The school has consistently received a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating persistent academic underperformance.

While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance lags behind both the district and the state of New York in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. Notably, the school's Hispanic students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 50% of New York elementary schools, while African American and low-income students perform much worse, ranking in the bottom 25%. Despite the school's relatively high spending of $24,062 per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 1736 out of 2413 New York elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1790 out of 2439 in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools, such as PS 241 Emma L Johnston and PS 316 Elijah Stroud, which perform significantly better, Brooklyn Arts And Science Elementary School's struggles appear to be reflective of broader challenges within the district or community. The school's leadership and the district may need to implement targeted interventions and closely examine the allocation of resources to address the persistent academic disparities among its student population.

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.
