Marie Curie High School-Nursing

Summary:

Marie Curie High School-Nursing is a public high school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 285. The school is part of the 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.

Marie Curie High School-Nursing faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism, particularly when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Bronx High School Of Science and High School Of American Studies At Lehman College. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic (64.91%) and African American (30.18%) students, and a very high percentage (over 86%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across various Regents exams, and its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 57.9% and 81.7% over the past few years, with a dropout rate ranging from 2.1% to 12.5%.

While Marie Curie High School-Nursing's overall performance is relatively low, its ranking for homeless students is comparatively higher, suggesting that the school may be providing additional support and resources for this vulnerable population. However, the school's performance for African American and Hispanic students is generally lower than the district and state averages, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address the achievement gap. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending (over $21,000 in 2022-2023) and low student-teacher ratio (9.9 in 2022-2023), these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating that additional support and strategies may be necessary to help students at Marie Curie High School-Nursing succeed.

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.
