South Bronx International Middle School

Summary:

South Bronx International Middle School is a public middle school serving 156 students in grades 6-8 in the Bronx, New York. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 755 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South Bronx International Middle School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, particularly for its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body (85.9%), and consistently performs below the district and state averages on standardized tests. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. When compared to other middle schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Science and Technology Academy: A Mott Hall School and Kappa, South Bronx International Middle School generally performs worse on academic measures.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio (8.4 in 2022-2023) and high per-student spending ($25,671 in 2022-2023), these factors have not yet translated into improved academic performance. The school's performance on state assessments has remained consistently low over the past few years, with little to no improvement in proficiency rates. This suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges that require a more comprehensive, long-term approach to address the educational needs of its predominantly Hispanic and ELL student population.

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.
