Summary

Evergreen Middle School For Urban Exploration is a public middle school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 350 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #32, which is ranked 743 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Evergreen Middle School For Urban Exploration has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 959 and 1367 out of around 1,500 schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly below the state and district averages, with only around 35-45% of students meeting or exceeding proficiency standards. The school's performance on Regents exams, such as Algebra I and Living Environment, is also below the state and district averages. However, the school's male students, Hispanic students, and special education students perform better than the school's average, suggesting that the school may be able to leverage the strengths of these subgroups to improve the overall academic performance.

Nearby schools, such as Junior High School 291 Roland Hayes and Junior High School 383 Philippa Schuyler, also perform poorly compared to the state average, with proficiency rates in the 20-30% range for ELA and Math. However, some schools, like Middle School 267 Math Science & Technology and Uncommon Bed-Stuy East Charter School, demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates, suggesting that high-performing schools can exist within the same district. Despite the increase in per-student spending at Evergreen Middle School For Urban Exploration, the school's academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for a more comprehensive approach to school improvement.
