Summary:
New Millennium Bronx Academy Of The Arts is a public middle school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 163 students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student body, with a racial makeup of 0.61% White, 33.74% African American, and 65.03% Hispanic, and is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 755 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite its diverse student population, New Millennium Bronx Academy Of The Arts has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of New York middle schools over the past decade, with test scores significantly below state and district averages. In 2022-2023, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 37.5% for 6th grade to 43.4% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 45.82% for 6th grade and 55.2% for 8th grade. In math, the proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 9.52% for 8th grade to 16.13% for 6th grade, compared to the state averages of 40.74% for 8th grade and 48.07% for 6th grade. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students in ELA and English Language Learner students in ELA, ranking in the bottom 25% and 30% of New York middle schools, respectively.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Science And Technology Academy: A Mott Hall School, which is located just 0.2 miles away, New Millennium Bronx Academy Of The Arts is clearly underperforming, with significantly higher test scores and a much higher statewide ranking (315 out of 1,500 schools in 2022-2023). Despite the school's persistent challenges, there is little evidence of sustained improvement over the past decade, suggesting that the school may face significant obstacles in providing a high-quality education to its students, particularly given the high percentage of students from low-income families (93.87% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and the school's location in a high-poverty district.
