This relatively small school has a strong focus on the arts and consistently outperforms state and district averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.

Renaissance Arts Academy is a standout institution, with exceptional academic performance that sets it apart from nearby schools. In 2023-2024, the school had 97.14% of 11th graders proficient or better in ELA and 97.14% proficient or better in Math, compared to the state averages of 55.73% and 27.9% respectively. The school's performance is particularly impressive in STEM subjects, with 96.15% of 12th graders proficient or better in Science in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 26.73%.

This suggests that the school's focus on the arts and its educational approach are effective in supporting the success of students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. When compared to nearby schools, such as Larchmont Charter, which has lower academic proficiency rates, a lower graduation rate, and a higher chronic absenteeism rate, Renaissance Arts Academy stands out as a model of excellence.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
