Explore Exceed Charter School

Summary:

Explore Exceed Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving 429 students in grades K-8 in Brooklyn, New York. The school is part of the Explore Exceed Charter School District, which is ranked 687 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Explore Exceed Charter School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 26.32% to 51.16% in ELA and 21.62% to 54.55% in Math, while the state averages were 42.6% to 51.88% in ELA and 40.72% to 58.03% in Math. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 1221 and 2130 out of over 2,300 New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, and has received a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

However, the school has shown some strengths in serving specific student subgroups, such as homeless students and English Language Learners. The nearby traditional public schools, such as PS 56 Lewis H Latimer, PS 241 Emma L Johnston, and PS 11 Purvis J Behan, generally outperform Explore Exceed Charter School on academic measures. The school's high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest a need to re-evaluate resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student learning 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.
