Voice Charter School Of New York

Summary:

Voice Charter School Of New York is a public charter elementary school serving 751 students in grades K-8 in Long Island City, New York. The school is part of the Voice Charter School Of New York district, which is ranked 407 out of 865 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Voice Charter School Of New York has generally lower proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments compared to the state average, especially in English Language Arts, the school performs better in Math, with several grade levels exceeding the state average proficiency rates. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Hispanic students tending to perform better than African American and White students. English Language Learners and Special Education students also perform relatively well compared to the state averages for those subgroups. The school spends significantly more per student ($21,136 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby traditional public schools, such as Ps/Is 217 Roosevelt Island and Ps 166 Henry Gradstein, and has a lower student-teacher ratio of around 11-12 students per teacher.

However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 625 out of 2,352 New York elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a ranking of 1,313 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, such as Asian/Hispanic students outperforming African American and White students, are concerning and indicate potential equity issues within the school. When compared to nearby traditional public schools, Voice Charter School Of New York generally performs worse on state assessments, despite having higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, coupled with its declining performance, suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in supporting the academic needs of its student 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.
