Young Women's Leadership School Of The Bronx

Summary:

Young Women's Leadership School Of The Bronx is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 535 that is predominantly Hispanic (66.73%) and African American (24.3%). The school is located in 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.

The school has seen a steady improvement in its 4-year graduation rates, increasing from 89% in 2018-2019 to 94.6% in 2022-2023, which is a strong performance compared to the nearby Bronx Collegiate Academy, Dreamyard Preparatory School, and other schools in the same district. However, the school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is mixed, with lower proficiency rates in math compared to the district and state averages. The school's African American and Hispanic students perform relatively well compared to their peers, but the English Language Learner and Special Education students perform below average.

One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which reached 73.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the district and state averages. On a positive note, the school's spending per student has increased from $13,193 in 2019-2020 to $16,560 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools in the same district, and the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1. Overall, Young Women's Leadership School Of The Bronx appears to be a relatively strong performing school within its district, with a focus on supporting the academic achievement of its predominantly minority student population, but the high chronic absenteeism rate is an area that the school should continue to address.

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.
