Bronx School Of Young Leaders (The)

Summary:

Bronx School Of Young Leaders (The) is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 359 that is predominantly Hispanic (74.65%) and African American (22.84%). The school is part of New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 728 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bronx School Of Young Leaders (The) has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 828 and 1141 over the past several years. Its performance on state assessments is also below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing better than the overall school, while male students, Special Education students, and Homeless students perform worse. Despite a relatively high per-student spending of around $24,000, which is higher than the nearby schools like Is 229 Roland Patterson and Is 206 Ann Mersereau, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.

The school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining over the years, from a high of 828 in 2020-2021 to 1141 in 2022-2023, indicating a concerning trend in academic performance. The school is located in close proximity to several other low-performing middle schools in the same New York City Geographic District #10, which may indicate broader systemic challenges in the local education system. However, the school's small student-teacher ratio of around 8.8-10.8 could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students, potentially leading to improved outcomes if implemented effectively.

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.
