Academically, Growing Up Green Charter School II has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with mixed performance on state assessments. While 3rd-grade students performed better than the state average in both ELA and Math, 6th-grade students performed significantly worse. The school's performance on Regents exams is also below the state average. Interestingly, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students, Asian and African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds generally outperforming the overall school. However, English Language Learners and Special Education students have had a mixed performance.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Queens School For Leadership And Excellence, PS 82 Hammond, and PS 99 Kew Gardens, Growing Up Green Charter School II generally underperforms on state assessments and has a lower statewide ranking. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance.

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.
