Summary

Mosaic Preparatory Academy is an elementary school in New York City's District 4, serving 236 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. Despite increased funding and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic measures, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools.

Mosaic Preparatory Academy struggles to support its diverse student population, with low proficiency rates across all subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. The school has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94% to 97% over the past three years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families. While the school's per-student spending has increased significantly, from $26,950 in 2020-2021 to $40,958 in 2023-2024, this additional funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as James Weldon Johnson School, Ps 108 Assemblyman Angelo Del Toro Educational Complex, and Bilingual Bicultural School (The), Mosaic Preparatory Academy's performance is significantly lower, despite facing similar challenges. The school's lack of improvement over time suggests that it may be facing deeper systemic issues that require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the underlying causes and improve student outcomes.
