Explore Excel Charter School

Summary:

Explore Excel Charter School is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in the diverse Brooklyn, New York community, with a predominantly African American student population. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance in several areas, particularly for specific student subgroups, but has also experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years.

Explore Excel Charter School has outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 4, 6, 7, and 8, as well as in Math for grades 3, 4, 7, and 8. The school also had a higher percentage of students proficient or better in Regents Algebra I (85.71%) and Regents Living Environment (69.7%) compared to the state averages. Additionally, the school has performed particularly well for certain student subgroups, with African American students ranking in the top 18% of New York elementary schools, English Language Learner students ranking in the top 5%, and Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students ranking in the top 25%.

When compared to the nearby public schools, such as PS 276 Louis Marshall, PS 233 Langston Hughes, and PS 115 Daniel Mucatel School, Explore Excel Charter School generally outperforms them in academic metrics, particularly in Math and Regents exams. However, the school's performance in ELA is more mixed, with some grades performing better and others performing worse than the nearby public schools. The school's high per-student spending of $24,057 and low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 suggest that it has access to significant resources, which could be leveraged to further enhance student outcomes.

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.
