Ps 346 Abe Stark

Summary:

PS 346 Abe Stark is an elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #19, which is ranked 754 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

PS 346 Abe Stark has a significantly higher percentage of African American (63.68%) and Hispanic (28.57%) students compared to the state average, making it a diverse school. However, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 23.73% (5th grade) to 38.18% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 45.09% (5th grade) and 48.79% (4th grade). In math, the proficiency rates ranged from 26.32% (5th grade) to 63.27% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 49.69% (5th grade) and 53.68% (3rd grade). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a SchoolDigger rating ranging from 0 to 2 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance.

While the school's overall performance is below average, its performance for specific student subgroups is more varied. For example, African American and Hispanic students at PS 346 Abe Stark have performed better than the school's overall average, ranking in the top half of New York elementary schools for these subgroups in recent years. Additionally, the nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 306 Ethan Allen and PS 273 Wortman, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by this school are not unique but rather systemic within the district. In contrast, some of the charter schools in the surrounding area, such as Leadership Preparatory Canarsie Charter School and Canarsie Ascend Charter School, have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state averages.

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.
