Ps 306 Ethan Allen

Summary:

PS 306 Ethan Allen is an elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 239 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #19, which is ranked 745 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, PS 306 Ethan Allen has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with performance on state assessments generally below the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 30.3% to 48.39%, compared to the district's 32.92%-40.64% and the state's 42.6%-47.05%. In math, the school's proficiency rates were slightly better, ranging from 45.71% to 61.11%, but still below the district and state averages. The school's performance on the 5th-grade science assessment was particularly low, with only 17.14% of students proficient or better, compared to the district's 24.78% and the state's 35%.

However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school's special education and English language learner students have shown strong performance, ranking in the top quartile of New York elementary schools in these subgroups. Additionally, the school's homeless student population also performs relatively well, ranking in the top half of New York elementary schools for this subgroup. The school's increased per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio may have contributed to these positive outcomes, but the overall academic performance, particularly in ELA and science, remains a concern, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.

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.
