Summary

Elijah Stroud Middle School is a public middle school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 114 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #17, which is ranked 565 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elijah Stroud Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools, ranking between 917-1245 out of around 1500 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 5 years, indicating below-average performance compared to other New York middle schools. While male students and certain student subgroups have performed better, the school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Math, and Science have been consistently below the district and state averages. Nearby schools, such as Ebbets Field Middle School and The School of Integrated Learning, have significantly outperformed Elijah Stroud Middle School in academic proficiency and statewide rankings.

The high poverty rate at Elijah Stroud Middle School, with 90-94% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, is likely a significant factor contributing to the school's overall academic underperformance. Additionally, the school's declining enrollment, from a previous higher level, may be a concern and could impact the school's resources and ability to provide a comprehensive educational experience for its students. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Elijah Stroud Middle School.
