Bronx Collegiate Academy

Summary:

Bronx Collegiate Academy is a public high school serving 401 students in grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, which is part of the New York City Geographic District #9. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New York high schools over the past decade and maintains a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

Bronx Collegiate Academy performs relatively better among its African American and English Language Learner student populations, ranking in the top 50% of New York high schools for these subgroups. However, the school struggles with its White, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status student populations, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of high schools for these groups. The school's 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 76.8% and 85.1% over the past 5 years, which is below the state average, and it has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.1% to 60.8% in the past 5 years.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as Dreamyard Preparatory School, Claremont International High School, and New Directions Secondary School, generally perform at a similar or slightly higher level compared to Bronx Collegiate Academy across various metrics. This suggests the challenges faced by Bronx Collegiate Academy are reflective of the broader educational landscape in this high-poverty district, where all schools serve student populations with extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility.

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.
