Summary

Middle School 247 Dual Language Middle School is a public middle school located in New York City's District #3, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 206 students. The school has a high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, with 95.15% of students qualifying in the 2023-2024 school year, and its spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $31,596 in 2023-2024.

Despite the school's higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby high-performing schools, Middle School 247 Dual Language Middle School has consistently underperformed in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency compared to the New York City District #3 and the overall New York state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 45% to 60.98% across grades, while the district and state averages were significantly higher, ranging from 66.01% to 70.17% and 50.86% to 52.38%, respectively. The school's Math proficiency rates were also lower, ranging from 23.53% to 47.83% compared to the district's 60.75% to 70.12% and the state's 51.2% to 56.47%.

The school's performance across different student subgroups is also concerning, with its female students, English Language Learner (ELL) students, and special education students all ranking in the bottom half of New York middle schools. Additionally, the school's homeless student population has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools. These findings suggest that Middle School 247 Dual Language Middle School may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to better serve its diverse student population and improve overall student outcomes.
