Family Life Academy Charter School

Summary:

Family Life Academy Charter School is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 395 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Family Life Academy Charter School District, which is ranked 598 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Family Life Academy Charter School has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (81.01%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the state average and the performance of surrounding schools. For example, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 29.52% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the state average of 44.89%. However, the school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, who rank in the top 25% and top 50% of New York elementary schools, respectively, in terms of academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with over 95% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, Family Life Academy Charter School generally performs better than the traditional public schools in the area, such as Walton Avenue School and Lucero Elementary School, which have lower rankings and academic proficiency rates. However, the school lags behind the nearby Bronx Academy of Promise Charter School, which has higher academic performance and a higher SchoolDigger rating. Over the past several years, Family Life Academy Charter School's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating have declined, suggesting that the school's academic performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state.

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.
