Bronx Delta School

Q: Is Bronx Delta School a good school?

Bronx Delta School ranks 1098 th of 2445 New York elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Bronx Delta School is an elementary school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 414 students. The school stands out as a strong-performing institution within the New York City Geographic District #8, which is ranked 722 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bronx Delta School consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with 51.85% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and 68.42% proficient or better in Math, compared to 30.83% and 43.24% for the district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong for Hispanic and Special Education students, ranking in the top 400 and 407 out of over 2,000 New York elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school is effectively serving its diverse student population and addressing the needs of traditionally underperforming subgroups.

While Bronx Delta School's overall performance is strong, there are still areas for improvement, such as the relatively low proficiency rates in 5th grade Science and the lower rankings for male students compared to female students. However, the school's consistent improvement over time, with its statewide ranking improving from 1,263 out of 2,434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,098 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024, indicates a positive trajectory. Additionally, the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on individualized attention and resources to support student success.

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.
