Summary:

Science And Medicine Middle School (The) is a public middle school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 282 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.

While the school's overall academic performance is below average, with consistently low rankings and proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the district and state, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is relatively stronger. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's Hispanic students ranked 214 out of 943 New York middle schools, and the English Language Learner students ranked 231 out of 591 New York middle schools, both receiving 4-star and 3-star ratings, respectively. This suggests that the school may be providing targeted support and interventions for these subgroups, which could be a potential area of focus and best practice to be shared with other schools.

The school has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $16,892 in 2019-2020 to $26,264 in 2022-2023, and a decrease in the student-teacher ratio from 11.6 in 2020-2021 to 10.0 in 2022-2023, indicating a focus on improving resources and support for students. When compared to nearby schools, such as Is 211 John Wilson and Collegiate Academy-Math-Personal Awa, which demonstrate stronger academic performance, there may be opportunities for Science And Medicine Middle School (The) to learn from their practices and strategies.

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.
