Summary:
Flatbush Ascend Charter School is an elementary school serving 245 students in grades K-5 in Brooklyn, New York. This high-performing charter school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across grades 3-5, particularly excelling in Math.
Flatbush Ascend Charter School stands out for its exceptional performance for African American and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and top 15% of New York elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for male students is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom 50% of New York elementary schools. Despite serving a predominantly low-income student population, with 69.72% to 84.9% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school achieves higher academic performance than the nearby PS 181, PS 397 Foster-Laurie, PS 249 Caton, PS 92 Adrian Hegeman, and Norma Adams Clemons Academy, which also serve high-poverty communities.
Flatbush Ascend Charter School's high per-student spending, ranging from $21,462 to $41,467, and relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.6 to 15.7, may contribute to its strong academic performance. While the school's overall results are impressive, its Science proficiency rates, while still above the state average, are lower than its ELA and Math proficiency rates, indicating a potential area for improvement.
