Summary

Brooklyn Dreams Charter School is an elementary school serving 530 students in grades K-8 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. The school is part of the Brooklyn Dreams Charter School District, which is ranked 513 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating.

While the school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels, it has significant achievement gaps among different student subgroups. For example, the school's ranking for Asian students was in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools, while the ranking for African American and Hispanic students was in the top 50%. However, the school's ranking for English Language Learners and Special Education students was in the top 50%, indicating relatively stronger performance in these subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as PS 192 Magnet School for Math and Science Inquiry, PS 139 Alexine A. Fenty, and PS 134, generally outperform Brooklyn Dreams Charter School in academic proficiency, particularly in ELA and Math, despite having higher percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. These higher-performing nearby schools tend to have lower student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, suggesting that these factors may contribute to their success.
