Summary

Ronald Edmonds Learning Center II is a public middle school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 110 students in grades 6-8 and part of the New York City Geographic District #17. Despite serving a student population with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges, the school has undergone a remarkable transformation, demonstrating strong academic achievement across various subject areas and student subgroups.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Ronald Edmonds Learning Center II's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 8th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate was 79.17% compared to 51.59% for the district and 52.38% for the state. The school's performance on Regents exams is also noteworthy, with 93.75% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 72.73% in Earth and Space Sciences, outperforming the district and state averages. When compared to nearby schools, such as Is 392 and The School of Integrated Learning, Ronald Edmonds Learning Center II stands out as a high-performing school, particularly in ELA and Math proficiency rates.

The school's remarkable turnaround in academic performance, improving its statewide ranking from the bottom quartile in the earlier years to the top quartile in the most recent school year, can be attributed to the school's focus on targeted interventions, effective teaching practices, and a strong commitment to student success. However, the school's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students is an area of concern, with rankings in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, suggesting that the school may need to further strengthen its support for these student subgroups.
