Ps 297 Abraham Stockton

Summary:

Ps 297 Abraham Stockton is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 212 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #14, which is ranked 591 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 297 Abraham Stockton has shown mixed academic performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 855 (2022-2023) and 2,224 (2018-2019) out of over 2,400 New York elementary schools. The school's performance on state assessments has also been variable, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from around 20-60% across different grade levels and years. However, the school has performed relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 400 and top 118 schools in the state, respectively, in recent years. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 88.21% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, and a high percentage of minority students, with 58.49% Hispanic and 35.85% African American students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Ps 23 Carter G Woodson, Ps 59 The Dawn Best School, and Ps 380 John Wayne Elementary, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance to Ps 297 Abraham Stockton. However, some schools, like Success Academy Charter School-Bed Stuy 2, have significantly outperformed Ps 297 Abraham Stockton and the surrounding district, with proficiency rates above 60% in both ELA and Math. The increase in per-student spending and the decrease in student-teacher ratio at Ps 297 Abraham Stockton may indicate a concerted effort to invest in the school's resources and support for students, which could help drive more consistent and sustainable academic growth.

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.
