Summary:
La Cima Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the La Cima Charter School District, located in Brooklyn, New York. The school has a total enrollment of 187 students and is part of a district ranked 404 out of 874 in the state, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's high spending of $23,659 per student and small student-teacher ratio of 8.9, its academic performance has been mixed. In the 2024-2025 school year, La Cima Charter School outperformed the state average in math for grades 3-5 but underperformed in English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 3-4. In the previous year, the school's performance was below the state average in both ELA and math. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, from 1,042 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,518 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024.
One notable characteristic of La Cima Charter School is the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 86.1% in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for its economically disadvantaged student population, which could be contributing to the inconsistent academic performance.
