Mott Haven Academy Charter School

Mott Haven Academy Charter School is the only school in the Mott Haven Academy Charter School district, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade in the Bronx, New York. While the school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and African American students, its academic performance has been mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, and others performing significantly below.

The school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 944 out of 2,413 New York elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,579 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (94.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

Despite the high spending per student at Mott Haven Academy Charter School, the school's academic performance is not consistently strong, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the factors contributing to student outcomes. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 may help provide more personalized attention for students, but the overall data suggests that the Mott Haven Academy Charter School district has room for improvement in delivering high-quality education to its students.
