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 346 students in grades PK-8 as part of the New York City Geographic District #32, which is ranked 764 out of 866 districts in the state.

Ps/Is 384 Frances E Carter is a low-performing school, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (82.66%), and its student groups, including female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learner, low socioeconomic status, and special education students, all perform poorly compared to other New York elementary schools. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly below state and district averages, ranging from 6.06% to 38.71% and 5.56% to 31.25%, respectively.

While Ps/Is 384 Frances E Carter has seen an increase in spending per student, from $21,114 in 2019-2020 to $26,694 in 2022-2023, this additional funding has not translated to improved academic outcomes. The school's challenges are compounded by its location in a low-performing district, with nearby district schools also struggling. In contrast, the two charter schools in the area, Achievement First North Brooklyn Preparatory Charter School and Bushwick Ascend Charter School, significantly outperform Ps/Is 384 Frances E Carter and the other district schools, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in supporting the needs of this high-poverty community.

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.
