Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single high school, New Dawn Charter High School, located in Brooklyn, New York. This public charter school serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 212 students.
New Dawn Charter High School has a mixed performance profile. While the school has some strengths, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain subject areas, it also faces significant challenges, including lower-than-average proficiency rates in ELA and Algebra I, as well as high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates. The school's graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its spending per student of $23,889 is significantly higher than the state average, suggesting that the school is allocating substantial resources to support its students, but these efforts may not be translating into improved academic outcomes.
The school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the past three school years, going from a ranking of 900 out of 1,228 schools and a 1-star rating in 2022-2023 to a ranking of 706 out of 1,234 schools and a 2-star rating in 2024-2025. The high percentage of students (92.92%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school is serving a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may be contributing to the challenges it faces in terms of academic performance and other metrics.
