Great Oaks Charter School

Summary:

Great Oaks Charter School is a secondary public charter school located in New York, NY, serving grades 6-11 with a total enrollment of 293 students. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a student population from low-income backgrounds.

Great Oaks Charter School faces significant challenges in supporting student achievement. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.6% to 89.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Atmosphere Academy Public Charter School, which had a 34.1% chronic absenteeism rate. Additionally, the school's test scores on the New York State Assessments and Regents exams are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Regents Algebra II (10.81%) and Regents Geometry (18.52%) were significantly below the state averages (74.04% and 57.44%, respectively).

When comparing Great Oaks Charter School to the nearby Atmosphere Academy Public Charter School, the latter appears to outperform Great Oaks in several key areas, such as test scores, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. This suggests that the educational model and practices at Atmosphere Academy may be more effective in supporting student achievement. The relatively high spending per student at Great Oaks Charter School, ranging from $22,360 to $24,692 over the past few years, also raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and utilization.

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.
