Summary:

New Pathways Academy is a public middle school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 181 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 755 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Pathways Academy has shown relatively stronger performance in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to the district and state averages, with 6th-grade students scoring 47.62% proficient or better, 7th-grade students scoring 38.6%, and 8th-grade students scoring 35.42% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance in mathematics and science is mixed, with 8th-grade students scoring only 32.69% and 23.08% proficient or better, respectively. The school has performed well among Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and Special Education students, ranking higher than many other New York middle schools in these subgroups.

While New Pathways Academy generally outperforms nearby schools in the Bronx, such as Is 219 New Venture School and Kappa, it lags behind the higher-performing Science And Technology Academy: A Mott Hall School, which is located within the same district. The school's challenges are likely due to the high rate of economic disadvantage among its student population, with 92.02% to 95.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years.

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.
