Summary:

Is 68 Isaac Bildersee is a public middle school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 214 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #18, which is ranked 621 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Is 68 Isaac Bildersee faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools and struggling to meet state proficiency standards across all subject areas. The school has a predominantly African American student population (72.43%), which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 88.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's performance for special education and English language learner students is relatively stronger, the overall academic performance remains a concern.

Interestingly, a comparison to nearby schools in other districts, such as Junior High School 78 Roy H Mann and Brooklyn Science and Engineering Academy, suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement through the implementation of more effective educational strategies and interventions. Despite the high per-student spending of $32,243 at Is 68 Isaac Bildersee, the school's academic outcomes have not seen a corresponding improvement, highlighting the need for the school and district to closely examine the allocation of resources and explore ways to optimize their use.

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.
