Family Life Academy Charter School

Family Life Academy Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Family Life Academy Charter School district located in the Bronx, New York. With a total enrollment of 395 students, the school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (81.01%) and a high rate of economic disadvantage, with 96.46% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Family Life Academy Charter School has seen mixed results, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics generally below the state averages. While 5th-grade students performed better in Mathematics than the state average, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by state assessments, suggests the need for targeted interventions to improve student learning outcomes. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 946 out of 2,413 New York elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,420 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023, and its current 2-star rating out of 5 indicate that it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

Despite the challenges faced by Family Life Academy Charter School, the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($15,519) and slightly higher student-teacher ratio (24.3) suggest that the school is investing resources to support its students. However, the school's performance and the economic disadvantage of its student population highlight the need for continued efforts to address the unique educational needs of this community.
