How Brownsville Collegiate Charter School compares with New York and U.S. medians
What stands out at Brownsville Collegiate Charter School
Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream
Brownsville Collegiate Charter School is neither an extreme outlier in enrollment nor in student-teacher ratio among New York schools. Its profile therefore turns on the other dimensions rather than on scale alone: economic need, counselor coverage, program access, attendance, and district finance. This middle placement is useful because it prevents the campus from being mislabeled as unusually large, small, crowded, or teacher-dense when the federal comparison does not support that claim.
Higher need meets a leaner resource profile
Brownsville Collegiate Charter School combines above-typical economic need with a Resource Investment Index in the lower part of the New York distribution. This is the page's clearest equity tension: the population indicated by free-meal eligibility may require more support, while the reported staffing, counselor, gifted-program, and attendance inputs produce a comparatively lean composite. The index is not an academic grade, but the mismatch is a concrete reason to inspect each component closely.
Attendance is the dominant support signal
Brownsville Collegiate Charter School's 54.0% chronic-absence rate is more consequential than a generic staffing label: at least one quarter of students missed 10% or more of school days in the 2021-22 collection. That level can affect instruction, counseling demand, and continuity even when other reported resources look ordinary. The dataset records the scale of absence but not its causes, so it should prompt a current-year question rather than a conclusion about school management.
Brownsville Collegiate Charter School is a high-poverty, small charter middle school in Brooklyn, New York, enrolling 202 students.
At 11.9:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the New York median, within a few percentage points of the 11.8:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
