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.

Open Quote Brooklyn Lab Charter School is a middle school located in the downtown area of Brooklyn, New York City. It’s was founded the CEO, Eric Tucker who wanted to create a safe learning environment for the students that attended. However, over the years, the school has been downgrading. From the mental health of the students to the pain inflicted on the teachers. Brooklyn Lab is a horrible school and reform might help. I’ve attended this school and I have nothing goodly say about it. People change as they get older however this doesn’t change their former students for better but instead make them worse then how they came in. The school’s primary focus is only based on academics but, never the health of the students or the teachers who work hard to educate their students. Not only health is a problem but the lack of sable pay. Teachers have come and go because their not respected and appreciated for their time and effort that they invest in the school. The CEO is deadbeat and doesn’t care about the students. He only comes once a month and still can’t keep a bond with the students that attended. Close Quote

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.
