Bronx Arts And Science Charter School

Bronx Arts And Science Charter School is the sole elementary school in this data set, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 341 students. The school is a public charter institution located in the Bronx Arts And Science Charter School district in the Bronx, New York.

Despite the school's relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.3, it has struggled academically. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently below the state averages, indicating that students are underperforming in these core subject areas. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past three years, from 1617 out of 2439 in 2022-2023 to 2397 out of 2434 in 2021-2022, suggesting a concerning trend in academic performance.

Further, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($19,727) compared to the state average, this high spending does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The combination of underperformance in core subjects, declining statewide rankings, and high poverty rates raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's educational model and the need for targeted interventions to improve student achievement at Bronx Arts And Science Charter School.
