Community Partnership Charter School

This charter school outperforms the District 13 averages substantially — ELA at 73% versus the district's 53%, and math at 67% versus 46%. The school also scores 2.8/4 overall compared to the district average of 1.98. Looking at the trend, scores have grown dramatically from 28.9% ELA and 26.2% math in 2016 to today's numbers — that's nearly tripling in nine years. However, there's a notable inconsistency: 8th grade math drops to 45.2% while 6th grade math hits 89.1%, suggesting uneven outcomes across grade levels. Science proficiency is strong at 73.8%.

The survey data tells a remarkably positive story: parents report 93% satisfaction, trust between parents and teachers sits at 95%, and teachers give a perfect 100% on instruction quality and school safety. These are exceptional numbers. Discipline has also improved meaningfully — suspensions dropped from 34 in 2021-22 to 19 in 2023-24. However, there's a tension here: chronic absenteeism is high at 49%, which suggests that while families and teachers report feeling good about the school experience, getting students to attend consistently is a challenge. The 13% family survey response rate is also quite low, so the satisfaction numbers may not represent all families.

The student body is 62% Black, 26% Hispanic, and notably 8% Native American — a higher Native American representation than most Brooklyn schools. With 83.3% economic need index and 16% IEP students, this is a school serving students with significant needs. The diversity index is 55%, reflecting a student population that's predominantly Black and Hispanic in a neighborhood that is relatively affluent (median household income $118,733) and highly educated (71.5% BA+). The school is smaller than average at 411 students with class sizes at 21.2, matching the district average.

Clinton Hill is a neighborhood with a strong education orientation score (83.14) and excellent transit access (88.12), making it convenient for families commuting from other parts of the city. The area has a high-earning, highly educated population with a median income of $118,733 and 71.5% of residents holding bachelor's degrees. However, the safety score of 35.25 is notably low, and the poverty rate is a low 10.3% — this creates an interesting contrast with the school's 83.3% economic need index among students. There are family-focused amenities, though homeownership is only 39.3%.

The neighborhood is highly walkable with excellent public transit options (transit score 88.12), making it accessible without a car. However, families should factor the area's safety scores into their calculus when considering commutes, especially for younger children.
