Summary

Is 68 Isaac Bildersee is a public middle school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 225 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #18, which is ranked 551 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($43,706 in 2023-2024) than the district and state averages, Is 68 Isaac Bildersee consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1121-1309 out of around 1500 schools over the past 5 years. The school struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, ranking in the bottom quartile for Asian, Hispanic, and Special Education students, and in the bottom half for African American, White, and English Language Learner students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Middle School For Art And Philosphy, Is 211 John Wilson, and Lenox Academy, generally outperform Is 68 Isaac Bildersee on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the school's poor performance, and a comprehensive school improvement plan is needed to address the root causes of the school's underperformance.
