Summary:

New Ventures Charter School is a public charter high school located in Staten Island, New York, serving grades 10-12 with an enrollment of 155 students. The school faces several challenges, including declining graduation rates, high dropout rates, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates that far exceed the state average.

New Ventures Charter School's academic performance is mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in some subjects like English Language Arts and U.S. History, but significantly underperforming in others like Algebra I, Living Environment, and Algebra. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with New York City Geographic District #31 Hispanic and Special Education students performing better relative to the state, while their White and Low Socioeconomic Status students perform much worse.

When compared to nearby schools like CSI High School for International Studies and Gaynor McCown Expeditionary Learning School, New Ventures Charter School generally underperforms, with significantly higher test scores and graduation rates at these other institutions.

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.
