Mott Hall IV

Summary:

Mott Hall IV is a public middle school in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 128 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #23, which is ranked 691 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mott Hall IV consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.14% of 6th graders, 30.77% of 7th graders, and 42.42% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 32.12%, 36.9%, and 38% respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York middle schools for female students, male students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students in both ELA and Math. Additionally, Mott Hall IV's performance on Regents exams is significantly below the district and state averages.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as IS 392 and Brownsville Collaborative Middle School, significantly outperform Mott Hall IV in both ELA and Math proficiency. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the school's small size may be contributing factors to the poor academic performance at Mott Hall IV. The school's declining performance over time and the stark contrast in academic achievement compared to nearby schools suggest that Mott Hall IV may require significant interventions and support to improve student 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.
