Harriet Tubman Charter School

Summary:

Harriet Tubman Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving 565 students in grades K-8 in the Bronx, New York. The school consistently outperforms the state average on New York State Assessments in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, and it performs exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools for African American students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Homeless students.

Compared to nearby traditional public schools in the Bronx, such as PS 132 Garrett A Morgan, PS 55 Benjamin Franklin, and PS 110 Theodore Schoenfeld, Harriet Tubman Charter School outperforms them in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. However, when compared to other high-performing charter schools in the area, such as South Bronx Classical Charter School III and Success Academy Charter School-Bronx 2, Harriet Tubman's academic performance, while still strong, is not quite at the same level.

Harriet Tubman Charter School has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $14,368 in the 2020-2021 school year to $21,921 in the 2022-2023 school year, and the school's student-teacher ratio has improved from 29 students per teacher to 12.2 students per teacher during the same period. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 542 out of 2,413 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,253 out of 2,434 in 2021-2022, suggesting the school may be facing some challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. Despite these fluctuations, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with 85.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, highlighting its ability to support and educate students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.

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.
