Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School

Summary:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School is a public high school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 3,213 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #20, which is ranked 242 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively high level of funding and resources available to the school, Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and equity. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, with proficiency rates on Regents exams ranging from around 30-60% across different subject areas, particularly low in Algebra I, Earth Science, and Living Environment. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 69.4% and 85.1% over the past few years, which is generally lower than the district and state averages, and the school has a high dropout rate ranging from 4.9% to 10.5% in recent years. The school's diverse student population includes a high percentage of English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and the performance on Regents exams varies significantly by student subgroup, with Asian and African American students generally outperforming Hispanic and White students.

Interestingly, the nearby Urban Assembly School For Leadership And Empowerment, which is also part of the New York City Geographic District #20, has similar academic performance and student demographic characteristics to Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School. In contrast, Midwood High School, which is located in a different district (New York City Geographic District #22), has significantly higher academic performance and better student outcomes, despite serving a similar student population. This suggests that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the challenges faced by Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School, and collaboration with nearby high-performing schools could provide valuable insights and best practices to help the school improve its academic performance and student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
