Equity Project Charter School (The)

Summary:

The Equity Project Charter School (The) is a public charter elementary school serving 1,066 students in grades K-8 in New York, NY. The school is part of the Equity Project Charter School (The) district, which is ranked 378 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the Equity Project Charter School (The) has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past 5 years, it appears to be making progress in serving its high-needs student population. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the New York state average, but it outperforms nearby lower-ranked schools like PS 109 Sedgwick and New American Academy. However, it underperforms the higher-ranked charter schools in the area, such as Zeta Charter School - Inwood and Success Academy Charter School - Washington Heights.

The Equity Project Charter School (The) serves a high-needs student population, with 91.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's diverse student body includes a significant population of English Language Learners and Special Education students, and the school ranks in the top half of New York schools for its Hispanic student subgroup. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it is investing resources into supporting its students, but the academic outcomes have not yet translated into top-tier performance. Continued focus on effective instructional practices and resource allocation could help the school make further progress in serving its high-needs population.

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.
