The school is part of the Valley Stream 24 Union Free School District, which is ranked 249 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Brooklyn Avenue School's performance on state assessments is generally lower than the district and state averages, the school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups. For example, the school ranks 1381 out of 2413 New York elementary schools for female students, but 803 out of 2411 for male students. The school's performance for Asian students and English Language Learners is particularly low, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools, while the performance for African American students is relatively strong, ranking in the top 25%.

Interestingly, the nearby William L. Buck School and Robert W. Carbonaro School, both part of the same school district, generally outperform Brooklyn Avenue School on state assessments. However, the performance of these nearby schools is still mixed, with some areas where Brooklyn Avenue School outperforms them, such as 6th grade ELA and mathematics. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance, and strategies to support these students could be beneficial.

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.
