Bronx Legacy High School

Summary:

Bronx Legacy High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a total enrollment of 170 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #7, which is ranked 767 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bronx Legacy High School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic metrics, with significantly lower proficiency rates on Regents exams in subjects like Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.1% to 61.6% over the past few years, which are much higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's performance on various student subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, is consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York high schools. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending and a favorable student-teacher ratio, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the school.

Interestingly, Bronx Legacy High School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools within the same district, such as Community School For Social Justice, Health Opportunities High School, and Urban Assembly Bronx Academy Of Letters. These nearby schools also have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students but tend to outperform Bronx Legacy High School in academic metrics and student outcomes. The lack of improvement in Bronx Legacy High School's performance over time suggests the need for a more comprehensive and targeted approach to address the school's challenges and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
