In the Matter of KAREN M., a Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant.

Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court has broad discretion as to the dispositional orders it enters ( see Matter of Ashley D., 55 AD3d 605; Matter of Ashley H., 53 AD3d 578; Matter of Melissa B., 49 AD3d 536). Here, contrary to the appellant's contention, the Family Court providently exercised its discretion in adjudicating her a juvenile delinquent and placing her on probation for a period of 15 months instead of granting an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. This disposition was appropriate in light of, inter alia, the nature of the incident, as well as the appellant's deficient academic performance and her poor record of attendance in school ( see Matter of Erika R., 55 AD3d 740; Matter of Tyrell D., 24 AD3d 440, 441).
