Democracy Prep Endurance Charter School

Summary:

Democracy Prep Endurance Charter School is a public charter school in New York City serving 653 students in grades PK-12, with a high percentage of students from low-income families (88.21% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

The school's performance has been inconsistent, with fluctuating graduation rates (ranging from 78.8% to 85.1%) and higher dropout rates (1.4% to 10%) compared to nearby charter schools like Harlem Children's Zone Promise Academy II Charter School, Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 1, and KIPP Infinity Charter School. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates (34.1% to 94.4%) than the nearby charter school average of 34.1%. On state assessments and Regents exams, the school's proficiency rates are generally lower than state and nearby charter school averages.

While the school serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, which can present additional challenges, its proximity to several high-performing charter schools may also contribute to the pressure to improve academic outcomes. The school's fluctuating performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout suggest the need for a comprehensive review of its educational strategies and support systems to better serve its students and provide them with a high-quality 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.
