Flatbush Ascend Charter School consistently outperforms the state average in New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to nearby public schools like PS 181, PS 397 Foster-Laurie, PS 249 Caton (The), PS 92 Adrian Hegeman, and Norma Adams Clemons Academy.

Despite serving a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.9% to 88.56% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years, Flatbush Ascend Charter School maintains a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $20,367 to $23,514 over the same period. However, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 17.1 students per teacher, compared to the nearby public schools, which range from 9.8 to 13.1 students per teacher. This suggests the school may benefit from exploring ways to provide more personalized instruction and student support.
