Summary:
Bronx Preparatory Charter School is the only high school in the data set, serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, New York. While the school has some academic bright spots, it also faces significant challenges, including inconsistent performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a low statewide ranking compared to other New York high schools.
Bronx Preparatory Charter School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, slightly below the state average. The school performs well above the state average on 8th grade ELA assessments but struggles in 6th and 7th grade ELA as well as most math assessments. Regents exam performance is mixed, with the school excelling in Global History and Geography but lagging in subjects like Chemistry and Physics.
With nearly 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Bronx Preparatory Charter School serves a predominantly low-income population. The school's high per-student spending of $24,220 indicates significant resources are being invested, but the academic results are still lagging. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is very high, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Addressing these challenges should be a priority for the school's leadership and the broader community.
