East New York Family Academy

Summary:

East New York Family Academy is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the New York City Geographic District #19, with 659 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The academic performance at East New York Family Academy is significantly behind the district and state averages, with only 13.7% of 6th graders proficient in ELA compared to 26.22% in the district and 43.64% statewide. The school's Regents exam proficiency rates are also very low, with only 15.69% of students proficient in Algebra I, compared to 22.34% in the district and 31.42% statewide. Additionally, the school has had a 4-year graduation rate around 84-91% in recent years, which is slightly below the district average, and a higher dropout rate ranging from 2.5% to 10%.

The challenges faced by East New York Family Academy appear to be more severe than the surrounding schools in the same district, which generally have slightly better academic outcomes and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the school's low performance, its per-student spending is on par with the district average, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. Addressing the root causes of the school's persistent underperformance, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, will require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions and increased student support.

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.
