East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School II

Summary:

East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School II is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in New York City, with 398 students. The school is part of the East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School District, which is ranked 733 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School II has consistently low academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were well below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, only 8.57% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 42.6%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite spending significantly more per student ($27,955 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby traditional public schools, the higher spending does not translate to better academic outcomes.

In contrast to the low-performing East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School II, the nearby Tag Young Scholars, a public magnet school, stands out as a high-performing outlier. In the 2023-2024 school year, Tag Young Scholars ranked 5th out of all New York elementary schools and had exceptional proficiency rates, with over 90% of students proficient in ELA and Math across all grade levels. The stark contrast with the high-performing Tag Young Scholars highlights the potential for schools serving similar student populations to achieve much higher levels of academic success.

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.
