Summary

Ps/Is 384 Frances E Carter is an elementary and middle school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 349 students. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math compared to the state and New York City Geographic District #32 averages.

While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $38,611 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.2, its performance varies across different student subgroups. Male students generally perform better than female students, and African American and English Language Learner students also outperform Hispanic and Special Education students. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 84.25% to 89.4% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Ps 377 Alejandrina B De Gautier, Ps 299 Thomas Warren Field School, and Ps 151 Lyndon B Johnson, generally perform better than Ps/Is 384 Frances E Carter in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. Additionally, the nearby Achievement First North Brooklyn Preparatory Charter School and Bushwick Ascend Charter School outperform the school in these areas as well.
