University Prep Charter High School


Summary:

University Prep Charter High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a total enrollment of 433 students. While the school does not stand out as a top performer based on its fluctuating statewide ranking and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the data provides valuable insights into its academic performance and challenges.

The school's graduation rate of 84.3% for the 2022-2023 school year is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school faces significant challenges with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 34.1% - significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on Regents/Common Core exams varies, with strong results in some subject areas but well below-average performance in others, such as Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry.

The data also reveals that University Prep Charter High School serves a population with high levels of economic disadvantage, with 91.45% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and inconsistent academic performance, suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
