Friends of Crown Heights Educational Center #5

As a pre-K center, this school does not participate in state ELA or Math assessments, so there's no proficiency data to evaluate. The absence of test scores means parents can't easily compare academic performance against district or city averages — a significant information gap for families trying to assess school quality.

Teacher survey response rate was extremely low (only 2 responses), making it statistically unreliable to characterize school culture, safety, or trust in leadership. This is a known limitation when interpreting climate data for small early childhood programs. Attendance patterns for pre-K are tracked differently than for K-5 schools and aren't directly comparable to district averages.

Pre-K demographics are not broken out in the same way as K-12 schools, so specific demographic comparisons between this school's community and the neighborhood are limited. The neighborhood itself has a median household income of $50,860 with 27.2% poverty rate, 17.2% households with children, and a low BA+ education rate of 14.1% — indicating a working-class community with limited college-educated residents. Homeownership is low at 21.4%, suggesting most families rent.

East New York-City Line is a Brooklyn neighborhood with significant challenges. Safety scores are low (28.35 percentile), and the area has elevated crime density and environmental health concerns including elevated lead rates and high asthma emergency department visits. Transit access is decent (69.35 percentile), making it relatively accessible by public transportation. The education orientation score is very low (18.39 percentile), reflecting fewer educational resources and family supports in the area. Stability is extremely low (5.75 percentile), indicating high transience.

Families likely walk or take short walks from nearby residential blocks; the neighborhood's relatively flat terrain and grid make stroller and foot navigation manageable, though safety concerns may affect parent comfort
