New World Preparatory Charter School

Summary:

New World Preparatory Charter School is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in Staten Island, New York, with a student population of 740. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #31, which is ranked 672 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New World Preparatory Charter School stands out in several key areas. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic (65.14%) and African American (27.84%) students compared to nearby public schools, which tend to be more diverse. The school also outperforms the state average in several grade levels for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments, and had 100% proficiency rates in Algebra I and Living Environment Regents exams, far exceeding the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.8 to 10.8 over the past three years, lower than nearby public schools. However, the school has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While New World Preparatory Charter School has a relatively low overall statewide ranking (1621 out of 2439 elementary schools in 2022-2023), it has shown consistent improvement over the past three years. The school's ranking for African American students (271 out of 857 in 2022-2023) and Special Education students (975 out of 2016 in 2022-2023) are significantly higher than its overall ranking, suggesting the school is providing effective support for these student populations. When compared to nearby public schools, such as PS 60 Alice Austen, PS 18 John G Whittier, and PS 44 Thomas C Brown, New World Preparatory Charter School generally outperforms them in terms of test scores and Regents exam performance, despite serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

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.

Open Quote First off, I worked here for a few months last year before COVID happened. If you want to feel under appreciated, undervalued, forgotten, exiled, back stabbed, bullied and lied to then this is the perfect place to work at. Those with connections to the principal, administration or board members have it good here, smooth sailing for them.
The supervisor is supposed to be in charge of several departments, this includes the custodial and cafeteria staff, but she’s a joke, she’s unqualified to hold her position. It was to my understanding that a supervisor is supposed to communicate with their staff and to know how to delegate tasks to their employees but this supervisor didn’t, zero communication, last minute changes, arrogant and inconsiderate to her employees and should be fired for a lot of stuff that comes out of her mouth (when able to understand her) and then denying it to the fullest!.
During the pandemic, we were not supplied with proper PPE, there was no structure of ANY kind as to how we should proceed with disinfecting or support.
Both the supervisor and those around her are well protected because of their connections, staff is fired if they dare speak up or cause a scene or reveal anything about this school, everyone is replaceable in their eyes.
Employees are giving other staff members work load, even if they are completely unqualify, you have no say!
I’m glad I left this place, it was clear to me that they’re only interested in the money they receive from the state for filling every seat with a student that's it!. They don’t care about their staff, their students, the parents or the community they claim to want to help!. It’s them first and everyone else second.
I only feel bad for the kids and their parents, in the hands of this racist school. Handing out jobs like candy to people who are under qualified too. So if you want to work in a place where there is no advancement for you, unless you have connections and want to waste your life living at the bottom of a barrel, get hired for one job just to end up doing several other peoples jobs and yours, enjoy this place. There are a hand full of good people here (hope for their sakes they left) but watch your back very closely. Also are the kids being made to leave positive reviews for this school for a grade? This school should be permanently close to avoid getting sued. Close Quote

Open Quote The kids here are the rudest, most disgracefully behaved students I have ever seen, Some teachers and all administrators let kids run the school as disciplinary measures are non-existent. Most adults give you a stony ice cold glare if you dare to say hello to them. Miserable tone in the building. Worst of all, the administration only seems to care about teachers spending enormous amounts of time writing the standards in the classroom and having students memorizing them, even though the kids have absolutely no idea what the standards mean. VERY HIGH TEACHER TURNOVER. Run don't walk away. 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.
