Summary

Spring Creek Community School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in New York City Geographic District #19, with 378 students located in Brooklyn, NY. Despite spending significantly more per student than nearby schools, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York high schools over the past 5 years, with a 0 or 1 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spring Creek Community School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages across nearly all academic metrics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 28.57% of 6th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 37.28% in the district and 50.86% statewide. The school's performance on Regents exams is also very low, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.25% to 44.66%, well below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.5% to 60.6% in recent years, which is significantly worse than the district average.

Despite the school's high-need student population, with over 86% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, Spring Creek Community School's performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past 5 years, with no clear signs of improvement. This indicates the need for a comprehensive school improvement plan and potentially significant interventions to address the multifaceted challenges facing the school, such as improving instructional quality, student engagement, and resource allocation.
