Bronx Aerospace High School

Summary:

Bronx Aerospace High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 147. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 646 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bronx Aerospace High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking. Its performance on Regents/Common Core exams is significantly below the district and state averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 3.33% in Algebra I to 36.99% in English Language Arts, compared to district averages of 33.21% and 66.54%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 76.6% and 85.1%, which is lower than the district and state averages, and its dropout rate has ranged from 4.9% to 10.0%, which is higher than the district and state. Additionally, Bronx Aerospace High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 28.4% to 51.2% over the past few years, significantly exceeding the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as New World High School, Bronxwood Preparatory Academy, and High School for Language and Innovation, generally perform better than Bronx Aerospace High School on academic metrics, graduation rates, and Regents/Common Core exam proficiency. This suggests that the challenges faced by Bronx Aerospace High School may be specific to the school itself, rather than the broader district. Additionally, despite a significant increase in per-student spending, from $21,422 in 2019-2020 to $39,023 in 2022-2023, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance has not improved, indicating that the issues may require more targeted interventions.

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.

The school has nothing to do with Aerospace. The principal lacks people skills. The teachers are great but there is no enforcement in the school. Students tend to do what they like. There is supposedly supposed to be a uniform policy but no one follows it because there is nobody enforcing it on the students. Also there are lack of elective classes and extracurricular activities in the school. Close Quote

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.
