Mount Eden Children's Academy

Summary:

Mount Eden Children's Academy is a public elementary school serving 409 students in grades PK-5 in the Bronx, New York, which is part of the New York City Geographic District #9. Despite serving a predominantly low-income and Hispanic student population, the school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in the lower elementary grades.

Mount Eden Children's Academy outperforms both the district and the state of New York in English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates for grades 3-4. In 3rd grade, the school's proficiency rates were 51.79% in ELA and 57.14% in Math, compared to 24.15% and 33.71% for the district, and 44.89% and 53.68% for the state, respectively. This suggests the school is effectively supporting its students and providing a quality education. However, the 5th grade proficiency rates were more in line with the district and state, indicating potential room for improvement in the upper elementary grades.

The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (81.42%), which is reflective of the broader demographic makeup of the surrounding community. Additionally, 93.4% of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite these challenges, Mount Eden Children's Academy has a relatively high per-student spending of $17,936, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to the New York City Geographic District #9 and nearby schools, such as Dream Charter School Highbridge and PS 170.

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.
