Renaissance High School For Musical Theater And The Arts

Summary:

Renaissance High School For Musical Theater And The Arts is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 433. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #8, which is ranked 742 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (68.82%) and African American (22.17%) students. However, Renaissance High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools, with a ranking between 817 and 951 out of around 1,200 schools over the past several years. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 80.5% and 90.4% over the past five years, with the most recent rate at 89.7%, slightly below the state average. Concerningly, the school's dropout rate has ranged from 6.0% to 13.5% over the same period, and its chronic absenteeism rate reached 66.4% in the 2021-2022 school year.

Comparing Renaissance High School to nearby schools in the same district, the data shows a mixed picture. While some schools, like Bronx Compass High School and Bronx Community High School, have even lower rankings and performance metrics, others, like Westchester Square Academy and Bronx River High School, have slightly better outcomes. However, all the nearby schools struggle with low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high poverty levels. Despite spending around $17,600 per student, which is higher than the state average, Renaissance High School's challenges suggest deeper systemic issues that need to be addressed.

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.
