The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's four-year graduation rate has improved from 63.2% in 2019-2020 to 85.9% in 2022-2023, its dropout rate has fluctuated between 4.1% and 16.9% over the past five years, with the most recent rate at 8.4%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 62.1% in 2021-2022, which likely contributes to its overall academic challenges.

Compared to nearby schools, Bronx Engineering And Technology Academy performs similarly or slightly better than some, such as Marie Curie High School-Nursing and Bronx School Of Law And Finance, in terms of graduation rates and test scores. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Riverdale/Kingsbridge Academy (MS/High School 141) and the local charter schools, such as New Visions Charter High School For The Humanities and New Visions Charter High School-Adv Math/Scie. Addressing the school's challenges will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions for struggling subgroups and strategies to improve attendance and academic outcomes.

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.

At first I was uncertain about the school, because when my child arrived at B.E.T.A.
I noticed that my child had 1 through 9 program it was difficult at first, but he got use to it. Then 10 grade the same and 11th, but as he got to 12 grade it got less that's when I realized I know why they put him through all these class. My child now have 8 regents, 61.2 credits with AP Courses and has made National Honors. And is still doing great, all I could say is Thank you for the support and understanding on why Bronx Engineering And Technology Academy,gave my child so many course.I would like to Thank all staffs for everything that they have done, this is a great school and the learning is excellent.

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.
