Urban Dove Team Charter School

The school does not report state test scores in the data provided, making direct academic performance comparisons difficult. However, the absence of proficiency data means parents cannot easily benchmark this school against district averages of 61% in ELA and 60% in Math. The average class size of 21.2 is slightly smaller than the district average of 23.8, which may allow for more individualized attention.

Survey data reveals a notable disconnect between teacher and parent perceptions. Teachers report extremely high trust in the principal (93%) and strong collegial trust (83%), with 88% rating instruction quality as good or very good. However, parent satisfaction (82%) and parent trust in both teachers (83%) and the principal (82%) fall below district averages. The teacher survey had only 29 respondents, so those results should be interpreted with caution, while the family survey achieved a solid 74% response rate with 216 responses, giving more weight to parent perspectives.

The student body is predominantly Black (68%) and Hispanic (27%), with very low Asian (1%) and White (1%) enrollment. This differs notably from the Midwood neighborhood, which has a more diverse population with significant Asian representation. The diversity index of 46% reflects this relatively homogeneous student population. Nearly half of students (46%) have Individualized Education Programs, indicating a high proportion of students with special needs — well above typical district averages.

Midwood is a residential Brooklyn neighborhood with a median home value of $921,756 and median household income of $70,680. About a quarter of households have children, and half of residents have a BA+ education. The neighborhood scores moderately on transit (61) and family density (66), but shows low scores on safety (41) and stability (21). The area has elevated asthma rates and air quality concerns (PM2.5 mean of 8.65), which parents of children with respiratory issues may want to consider.

Midwood is a walkable neighborhood with good access to the B and Q subway lines. Families from nearby areas can walk or take local buses, though those coming from farther parts of Brooklyn or Manhattan should expect moderate commute times.
