About
New World Preparatory Charter School serves middle school students (grades 6-8) on Staten Island, emphasizing academic rigor, personalization, and strong family engagement. The school reports high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, performing at or near the citywide median for these subjects. It is particularly noted for strong academic performance among African American students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups. The school offers a longer school day, double periods for English and Math, and provides honors courses that allow students to take New York State Regents exams in Algebra and Living Environment early. Parents express overwhelmingly positive sentiment, particularly regarding the support and investment of teachers in student growth. The school maintains a very low suspension rate and a better-than-median chronic absenteeism rate. However, student surveys indicate concerns about school cleanliness, fairness in conflict resolution, and instances of bullying and physical altercations. While parents are highly satisfied, employee reviews frequently describe a stressful and demanding work environment with long hours and high teacher turnover. The school also offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including arts, chess, community service, and sports.

Charter schools manage their own budgets rather than receiving a school allocation from the DOE, so the staffing and supplies breakdown the DOE publishes for district schools is not published for this school.
