Brooklyn Ascend Charter School

Summary:

Brooklyn Ascend Charter School is a public charter school serving 1,376 students from kindergarten through 12th grade in Brooklyn, New York. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, particularly in the early grades, but faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement across all grade levels.

Brooklyn Ascend Charter School's academic performance is strong, with 8th grade ELA proficiency of 71.28% compared to the state average of 51.88%, and 8th grade Math proficiency of 67.02% compared to the state average of 40.72%. However, the school's Regents exam performance is mixed, with some subjects like Global History and Geography and U.S. History and Government performing better than the state average, while others like Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry lag behind. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is on par with nearby Leadership Preparatory Bedford Stuyvesant Charter School and Excellence Boys Charter School Of Bedford Stuyvesant, but its dropout rate has fluctuated significantly, ranging from 4.2% to 13.7%, which is higher than the state average.

One area of concern for Brooklyn Ascend Charter School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 26.4% to 54.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. This may be contributing to the school's challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement in the upper grades. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 89.03% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, similar to other nearby Achievement First Brownsville Charter School and Achievement First Crown Heights Charter School.

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 worked in this and other charter schools and I will say this, special needs children DO NOT get a fair education in these schools. They sit with a para in a general ed setting and are completely lost. They are given their own books or worksheets to work on while the rest of the class works on something else. They get very distracted by the other kids and the teachers all act like they're too busy to be bothered. Then with all the clapping and shouting they do during the day is ANNOYING AND UNECESSARY 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.
