Theatre Arts Production Company School

Summary:

Theatre Arts Production Company School is a public magnet high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, New York, with 503 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York high schools over the past 5 years, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance is below average across various student subgroups, and it faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and low graduation rates.

The school's proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 11.76% to 80.52%, compared to district rates of 28.02% to 81.91% and state rates of 31.42% to 78.55%. Nearby schools in the same district, such as Knowledge And Power Prep Academy International High School, Belmont Preparatory High School, and Fordham High School For The Arts, also perform poorly, suggesting systemic challenges within the New York City Geographic District #10.

However, one exception is Providing Urban Learners Success In Education High School, which is located slightly farther away but has significantly higher performance, ranking in the top 30% of New York high schools and achieving proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. This highlights the potential for schools in the area to achieve better outcomes with the right strategies and resources. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors, such as the high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Theatre Arts Production Company School and its peers.

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.
