Ps/Is 384 Frances E Carter

Summary:

Ps/Is 384 Frances E Carter is an elementary and middle school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 346 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #32, which is ranked 764 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps/Is 384 Frances E Carter consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math significantly below the New York state and New York City district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 31.82% compared to the state average of 42.6% and the district average of 23.95%. Similarly, the school's 3rd grade Math proficiency rate was 41.67%, compared to the state average of 53.93% and the district average of 38.29%. The school's performance for different student subgroups also varies, with male students and African American students performing better than female students and Hispanic students, respectively. English Language Learners and students with Special Education needs also perform below the state and district averages.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of around $26,000-$27,000 and a low student-teacher ratio of around 9-10 students per teacher, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the students. When compared to nearby schools, such as Achievement First North Brooklyn Preparatory Charter School, which significantly outperforms Ps/Is 384 Frances E Carter and the other nearby public schools, it becomes clear that alternative approaches to education delivery may be more effective in addressing the needs of the local 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.
