Dream Charter School East Harlem

Summary:

Dream Charter School East Harlem is a public charter school serving 929 students in grades PK-12 in the East Harlem neighborhood of New York City. With a high percentage of students from lower-income backgrounds, the school has demonstrated impressive academic achievement, particularly in core subjects like English Language Arts (ELA) and Math.

The school's graduation and dropout rates are generally stronger than nearby charter schools, indicating strong student retention and academic success. On state assessments, Dream Charter School East Harlem outperforms the state average, with significantly higher proficiency rates in 3rd-8th grade ELA and Math. However, the school's Regents exam performance is more mixed, with lower proficiency rates than the state in several subjects. Chronic absenteeism is a notable concern, with rates much higher than the nearby Harlem Village Academy East Charter School and other local charter schools. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11.8 to 28, suggest a focus on providing more individualized attention and support to students.

Overall, Dream Charter School East Harlem demonstrates impressive academic achievement in core subjects, but also faces challenges with attendance and Regents exam performance that may require further attention and intervention. When compared to nearby charter schools, the school stands out for its strong graduation and dropout rates, as well as its significantly higher test scores in 3rd-8th grade ELA and Math, though it lags in some Regents exam areas and has higher chronic absenteeism rates.

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.

I have to agree with the previous comment posted. The focus is not on the students AT ALL! They could careless about the failing grades. The students have no foundation in math, reading, or writing. Most of these kids can barely spell and with 2 teachers in a class "they do not have time to check homework"(according to the principal). They ignore you if you question their curriculum or bring up valid points such as the massive failing grades and lack of summer school initiative. All they care about is obtaining their next permit and their new building. They do not teach the students; they "guide" the students through learning because their motto is children should be independent and responsible for themselves. There is little classroom management and barely any structure. This school does not live up to any of the expectations it claims to have. The saddest part is no one in a position of authority cares. I'm SO GLAD I took my child out of this school.
If you don't mind coming home from work and picking up where the teachers constantly fall short then this is the perfect place for you. However, if you are a parent who is looking for a school where your child(ren) will actually learn something and have a great chance at succeeding in this world DO NOT PLACE THEM HERE!!! Close Quote

Don't do it! Let your child or children go to a public school or a private school. The school is not the problem nor is the children it's the managements of this school I had to leave this school as a teacher in fear of so...many children failing. I wish they will reach a place in their heads & see how many children are suffering with low grades every child in the 2nd & 3rd grade failed. There is no mandatory summer classes offered. And worse of all a the children are not learning Fundamental math or reading. The children can't spell, write,pronoun. This dream has turned more into a nightmare of failure. The managements concern is about obtain their own building. And getting their application for a new year renewed. If you are thinking you would like to place your child in this school speak with the parnets of this school & ask them about what you just read, they will tell you the truth. Close Quote

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.
