Astor Collegiate Academy

Summary:

Astor Collegiate Academy is a public high school in the Bronx, New York, serving 441 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 653 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Astor Collegiate Academy has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (45.35%) compared to nearby schools. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 77.8% in 2020-2021 to 92.9% in 2021-2022, which is generally higher than the surrounding schools. However, the school has experienced higher dropout rates, ranging from 2.7% in 2019-2020 to 10.8% in 2022-2023, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 54.0% in 2021-2022, both of which are significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Astor Collegiate Academy's test scores on Regents exams are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Geometry, Chemistry, and Algebra II. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with relatively strong results for African American and English Language Learner students, but struggles with White, Asian, and Special Education students. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $18,312 in 2022-2023, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The nearby schools, such as Bronx High School For The Visual Arts, High School For Contemporary Arts, and Bronx Aerospace High School, face similar challenges, suggesting that the issues at Astor Collegiate Academy may be systemic within the district.

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.
