Summary:
Manhattan Charter School II is the sole elementary school in the data set, serving grades 2-6 with a total enrollment of 66 students. Despite the school's relatively small size and high per-student spending, it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of New York elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a ranking of 2211 out of 2445 schools in 2024-2025.
The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the statewide averages across English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 42.11% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to statewide averages of 50.86% to 59.7%. Additionally, the school serves a student population that is overwhelmingly from low-income backgrounds, with 95.45% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's low performance, it appears to have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.7, which is lower than typical elementary school ratios. However, the high per-student spending of $20,487 raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and whether the funds are being used in the most impactful way to support student learning and improve academic outcomes.
