Mott Hall IV

Summary:

Mott Hall IV is a public middle school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 128 students in grades 6-8 and located in the New York City Geographic District #23, which is ranked 694 out of 866 districts in the state.

While Mott Hall IV shares some similarities with nearby schools in terms of student demographics and economic disadvantage, the surrounding schools generally outperform Mott Hall IV academically. For example, Brownsville Collaborative Middle School and Kappa V (Knowledge And Power Prep Academy) have higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to Mott Hall IV. Mott Hall IV's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is generally lower than the surrounding schools and the New York state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 31.25% to 42.5% in ELA and 5% to 18.18% in Math.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, Mott Hall IV has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with a ranking between 876 and 1392 out of 1500 schools in recent years. This suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students, which may be exacerbated by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (87.1% to 98.44% receive free or reduced-price lunch). The inconsistent academic performance over the years also indicates a lack of sustained improvement or stability in the school's educational outcomes.

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.
