Summary

East New York Middle School Of Excellence is a public middle school serving 232 students in grades 6-8 in the New York City Geographic District #19 in Brooklyn, New York. Despite higher per-student spending and relatively small class sizes, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of middle schools in New York state over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school significantly underperforms compared to the district and state in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 31.25% of 6th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 37.28% in the district and 50.86% statewide. In Math, the proficiency rate for 6th graders was just 14.93%, compared to 29.13% in the district and 51.2% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 40% of NY middle schools for Female, Male, and English Language Learner students in ELA and Math.

Interestingly, the nearby Vista Academy and Liberty Avenue Middle School significantly outperform East New York Middle School Of Excellence on academic measures, even though they serve a similar student population. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics and district resources are contributing to the poor performance of East New York Middle School Of Excellence. Addressing the school's instructional and support systems, as well as learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools, may be crucial steps in helping the school better serve its students.
