Ps 145 Andrew Jackson

Summary:

PS 145 Andrew Jackson is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 445 students. The school has a diverse student population, with the majority being Hispanic (88.99%), followed by African American (6.97%), White (1.8%), and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

PS 145 Andrew Jackson consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1857 and 2205 out of around 2,400 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages, with only 13.46% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.06% in the district and 44.89% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective statewide peer groups. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (87.19%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as PS 123 Suydam, PS 274 Kosciusko, and PS 81 Thaddeus Stevens, also struggle academically, with similar low rankings and performance on state assessments. However, the nearby Bedford Stuyvesant New Beginnings Charter School, which serves a similar demographic population, significantly outperforms PS 145 Andrew Jackson and the other nearby public schools, with much higher proficiency rates on state assessments. This suggests that the challenges faced by PS 145 Andrew Jackson may be systemic and require a more comprehensive and sustained approach to improvement.

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.
