Summary:

School In The Square Public Charter School is the sole school in the School In The Square Public Charter School District, serving grades PK-9 with a total enrollment of 566 students. As a public charter school in New York City, it faces a mix of academic performance compared to state averages.

The school's test scores on the New York State Assessments are uneven, with 3rd grade students performing below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) but above average in 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. In math, the school was below the state average in 3rd, 6th, and 7th grades but above average in 4th and 8th grades. The school also performed below the state average on Regents exams in key subjects like U.S. History and Government, Algebra I, and Life Science Biology. With 82.33% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.

Despite spending $36,696 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, the school's academic performance is mixed. The student-teacher ratio of 18.2 is slightly higher than the recommended range, which may contribute to the challenges in delivering consistent, high-quality instruction across all grade levels. To improve student outcomes, the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support its economically disadvantaged student population.
