Summary:
Growing Up Green Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Growing Up Green Charter School District, located in Long Island City, New York. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past three years, dropping from 1192 out of 2439 New York elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1555 out of 2445 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during the same period.
Academically, Growing Up Green Charter School has struggled, particularly in Math, where its proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments were significantly lower than the statewide averages. For example, in 6th grade Math, the school's proficiency rate was 19.23% compared to the state's 51.2%. The school's proficiency rates on the Regents exams (Living Environment and Algebra I) were also lower than the state's.
Despite the school's higher spending per student ($20,622) and relatively low student-teacher ratio (10.1 to 1), the data suggests that the school is facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance and addressing areas of underperformance, particularly in Math. The school's declining performance over time highlights the need for continuous improvement and the implementation of effective strategies to improve student outcomes.
