Summary

Is 340 is a public middle school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 140 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #17, which is ranked 565 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Is 340 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, with a ranking between 536 and 1095 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 43.59% (6th grade) to 50% (8th grade), compared to the district's 53.04%-51.59% and the state's 50.86%-52.38%. In math, the proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 20% (6th grade) to 34.09% (7th grade), compared to the district's 48.01%-45.26% and the state's 51.2%-56.47%. However, the school's African American and homeless student subgroups have performed better, with 4-star and 5-star ratings in recent years.
