Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School


Summary:

Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School is the sole elementary school in the Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School district, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade in the Bronx, New York. The school has consistently underperformed on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 21% to 48% compared to the statewide averages of 44% to 58%. Despite relatively high spending of $17,889 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 16.1 to 1, the school's academic performance remains well below the state's standards.

The school faces significant challenges, with nearly 88% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need population. This high poverty rate may be contributing to the school's struggles, as research has shown that socioeconomic factors can have a significant impact on academic achievement. The school's ranking of 759 out of 865 school districts in New York and its 1-star rating from SchoolDigger further highlight the need for improvement.

Overall, Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School appears to be a struggling school that is not meeting the academic needs of its students. While the reasons for this underperformance are complex, the combination of low test scores, high poverty rates, and relatively high spending suggests that the school may require additional support and resources to help its students succeed.
