Summary

New York French-American Charter School is a public charter school serving grades PK-8 in New York, NY, with 296 students. The school is located in New York City Geographic District #3, which is ranked 362 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, the school has shown mixed performance compared to the state average and nearby schools. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are generally higher than the state average, but in Math, the school's proficiency rates are lower. In Science, the school's 5th and 8th grade proficiency rates are 37.84% and 76.47% respectively, compared to the state averages of 45.02% and 43.5%. Compared to nearby schools, KIPP Star College Prep Charter School and Teachers College Community School outperform New York French-American Charter School in academic proficiency.

The school serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (90.54% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and significant percentages of African American and Hispanic students. Despite these challenges, the school has shown strengths in serving African American and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 25-40% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school's lower performance for students with special needs and low socioeconomic status suggests that more targeted support and resources may be needed for these groups.

We love this school. It’s both structured yet nurturing, academic yet familial. The teachers are all-stars: kind, attentive, dedicated, and highly educated. My kids love going to school everyday, an experience that was very different to my own. I wish I could have gone to a school like this as a kid. Close Quote
