Community Roots Charter School is a public charter elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 469 students. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the state average in New York State Assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 64.58% to 81.4% in ELA and 63.64% to 76.09% in Math, significantly higher than the state averages.
The school's academic excellence is particularly notable for its White, Multi-racial, and Special Education students, who rank in the top 27, 42, and 136 out of over 1,300, 279, and 2,100 New York elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for African American and Hispanic students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools for these subgroups. Despite having a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, Community Roots Charter School has been able to achieve strong academic outcomes, suggesting its educational model and practices are effective in supporting student learning regardless of socioeconomic status.
