Bronx Park Middle School

Summary:

Bronx Park Middle School is a public middle school serving 358 students in grades 6-8 in the Bronx, New York. 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.

Bronx Park Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math well below district and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 27.66% of 6th graders and 43.81% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 38.21% to 53.86% and the state's 45.82% to 55.2%. In Math, the proficiency rates ranged from just 17.71% (6th grade) to 24.3% (8th grade), far behind the district's 35.21% to 38.85% and the state's 48.07% to 40.74%. The school's performance on subgroup metrics is also concerning, with students ranking in the bottom half of New York middle schools for most subgroups, except for English Language Learners.

Interestingly, Bronx Park Middle School's academic performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools in the same district, such as Pelham Academy of Academics and Community Engagement and Junior High School 144 Michelangelo, which have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as higher rankings from SchoolDigger. Additionally, despite the school's relatively high spending per student, which has increased from $17,447 in 2019-2020 to $21,746 in 2022-2023, its academic performance remains below district and state averages, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
