Summary

The school's academic performance has been mixed compared to the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 56.76% (vs. district 69.49% and state 54.15%), while 6th grade ELA proficiency was 69.23% (vs. district 63.28% and state 50.86%). In math, 3rd grade proficiency was 72.5% (vs. district 79.34% and state 59.7%), and 6th grade proficiency was 65% (vs. district 70.77% and state 51.2%).

Carbonaro School have consistently outperformed Brooklyn Avenue School on state assessments.

Brooklyn Avenue School has a diverse student population, with significant representation of African American (24%), Hispanic (35%), and White (27%) students. The school's performance on state assessments varies across subgroups, with African American students performing well and ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools for this subgroup. However, English Language Learners and Special Education students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district average suggest it may have access to additional resources, but the mixed academic performance indicates a need to examine instructional practices and support systems to drive better student outcomes.
