Summary:
Is 313 School Of Leadership Development is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 172. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low test scores, poor rankings, and underperforming student subgroups compared to state and district averages.
Is 313 has a predominantly Hispanic student population (66.28%), with 29.65% African American and 2.33% White students. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are around 20-30% for most grade levels, far below the state averages of 45-55%. Additionally, the school's student subgroups, including female, male, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, all perform below their respective state and district averages. Despite the high per-student spending of around $32,000 per year, which is significantly above the state average, the school's academic performance remains significantly below par.
Interestingly, while Is 313's overall performance is low, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students and Special Education students perform relatively better compared to their peers at the school, ranking in the top half of New York middle schools for those subgroups. The nearby schools in the same district (New York City Geographic District #9) and other nearby districts perform similarly to Is 313, with low test scores, low rankings, and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that addressing the root causes of these issues, such as socioeconomic factors and resource allocation, may be crucial for improving educational outcomes at Is 313 and similar schools in the area.
