Summary

Uncommon Excellence Girls Charter School Nyc is a public charter school located in Brooklyn, NY that serves grades KG-12 with a total enrollment of 876 students. The school provides an alternative education option focused on serving girls in the local community.

Uncommon Excellence Girls Charter School Nyc has a strong academic track record, with 4-year graduation rates ranging from 75.8% to 91.5% over the past few years, higher than the state average. The school also significantly outperforms the state on standardized tests, especially in math, with 86.05% of 3rd graders proficient in 2024-2025 compared to 59.7% statewide. The school spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $15,066 to $24,715, and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 to 16.5:1. Compared to nearby charter schools like Ember Charter School and Uncommon Crown Heights Charter School Nyc, Uncommon Excellence Girls Charter School Nyc generally outperforms them on metrics like test scores and graduation rates.

However, the school faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 31.5% to 66.7% in recent years, and relatively high dropout rates from 0.6% to 10%. These issues are likely exacerbated by the fact that over 75% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a predominantly low-income population. Overall, Uncommon Excellence Girls Charter School Nyc appears to be providing a strong educational option for girls in the Brooklyn area, but will need to continue working to address attendance and dropout concerns.
