Bronx Academy For Software Engineering (Base)

Summary:

Bronx Academy For Software Engineering (BASE) is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 387. While the school has a specialized focus on software engineering, its academic performance is generally lower than nearby schools, particularly in core subject areas like mathematics.

Compared to the district and state averages, BASE has significantly lower proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams, except in English Language Arts, where it performs better. The school also has a higher dropout rate and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate than nearby schools. However, its 4-year graduation rate is on par with the nearby schools. BASE serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a higher proportion of English Language Learner (ELL) students.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, BASE's academic performance does not seem to be significantly better than the nearby Providing Urban Learners Success In Education High School and Theatre Arts Production Company School, which generally perform better on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's performance.

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.
