The proposal to close M.S. 394 reflects a shift toward addressing the challenges of declining enrollment and inadequate support for students struggling with reading, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
With a 36% enrollment drop and only 21% reading proficiency last year, M.S. 394's closure seeks to transition the building into a new school focused on literacy challenges.
Fewer than 200 students now attend M.S. 394, mirroring a trend of small schools that struggles with enrollment critically impacting educational funds and learning quality.
The city aims to combat the dual issues of small, underperforming schools and the specific needs of struggling readers by transforming M.S. 394 into the Central Brooklyn Literacy Academy.
