Explore Exceed Charter School

Summary:

Explore Exceed Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in the diverse Brooklyn, New York community, with a student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

The school has shown mixed academic performance, with stronger proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for grades 6-8 compared to the state average, but lower proficiency in grades 3-5. However, Explore Exceed Charter School stands out for its strong support of historically underserved student populations, ranking in the top 304 out of 857 New York elementary schools for African American students in ELA and math, and in the top 58 out of 860 schools for English Language Learners in ELA. This suggests the school has effective strategies in place to address achievement gaps. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $29,126 and low student-teacher ratio of 8.9 may contribute to its academic performance, particularly in the upper grades.

When compared to nearby public schools like PS 11 Purvis J Behan and PS 138, Explore Exceed Charter School generally outperforms them in academic proficiency, especially in the upper grades. However, the school's inconsistent performance across grade levels indicates a need to focus on improving academic support and interventions for younger students to ensure consistent growth throughout their elementary education.

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.
