Harbor Science And Arts Charter School

Summary:

The school serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 70.67% to 80.81% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 school years.

Despite having significantly higher spending per student, ranging from $14,404 in 2019-2020 to $21,335 in 2022-2023, Harbor Science And Arts Charter School has consistently underperformed academically compared to nearby charter schools.

For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 8th grade ELA proficiency rate was 61.9% compared to the state's 51.88%, and its 8th grade Math proficiency rate was 70% compared to the state's 40.72%. Nearby charter schools like Success Academy Charter School-Harlem 1, Harlem Village Academy East Charter School, and Harlem Prep Charter School significantly outperform Harbor Science And Arts Charter School in both ELA and Math proficiency across all grade levels.

Additionally, the nearby charter schools have higher 4-year graduation rates and lower dropout rates compared to the state average, while the data for Harbor Science And Arts Charter School is not provided. The lack of information on the school's student-teacher ratio and graduation/dropout rates suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its educational strategies and resource allocation to better support student learning and achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I loved the fact the school had small classroom settings but I feel like I failed my son placing him here. They are way behind academically. Not to mention the very Unprofessional staff member Mr Ehri. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
