Summary

Red Hook Neighborhood School is an elementary school serving grades 3-8 in Brooklyn, New York, with 115 students. While the school has relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, it has struggled academically compared to the district and state averages.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Red Hook Neighborhood School had significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels compared to the New York City Geographic District #15 and the state. For example, in 5th grade ELA, the school had only 9.09% proficiency, compared to 69.07% for the district and 56.61% for the state. The school's performance has been inconsistent over the past several years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 974 out of 2,445 schools to as low as 2,323 out of 2,395 schools.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 58 Carroll and PS 32 Samuel Mills Sprole, which significantly outperform Red Hook Neighborhood School on state assessments, the school faces significant challenges in academic performance, with stark disparities in student subgroup outcomes. Despite the high spending and resources, the school's instructional practices and support systems may need to be examined to better serve its students.
