As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote We have been at this school for a year and have been very happy with it so far. If there is any complaint, it is that there is a LOT of homework, especially for the younger children. But this is not so much a complaint about the school as a sign of the times. What makes OWNCS remarkable in our view, aside from its incredible diversity, is that it takes kids from varying starting positions, targets their needs, and does really well in raising everybody up. Kids who excel are challenged, and kids who need extra help are provided it. The homework, along with long school days and a long school year, are all part of a tactical game plan meant to encourage this success. Young children are doing algebra and reading on their own, well in advance of what we as parents can remember accomplishing several grades later in our day.

The school feels like a real community, its greatest assets its terrific teachers and strong curriculum, supplemented by actual extracurriculars. We wish OWNCS would differentiate itself from other charter schools a bit more, since its model is really very different from the big chains. This is a community based and driven school, and in our view fulfills the promise of what charters can and are meant to do. It provides excellent education (we think) without taking away anything from local "regular" public schools. It engages the neighborhood, and encourages character and citizenship. It is a complement to, not a competitor with, standard public education, a variant of the NYC G&T model.

We think there is a real story to be written about this school. In our opinion, though not without areas for improvement, it is one of the very best in the whole city. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
