Bronx Alliance Middle School

Summary:

Bronx Alliance Middle School is a public middle school in the Bronx, New York, serving 214 students in grades 6-8. 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 Alliance Middle School faces significant challenges in improving student academic performance, with consistently low rankings and proficiency rates across multiple subject areas and student subgroups. The school has a predominantly African American (64.95%) and Hispanic (29.91%) student population, and its performance is particularly low for male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools for these subgroups. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($25,681) and low student-teacher ratio (8.2), its academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student performance.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Is 181 Pablo Casals and One World Middle School at Edenwald, Bronx Alliance Middle School's performance is significantly lower, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math and higher overall rankings. The school's high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the high free and reduced lunch rates (85.51%), may be a contributing factor to the poor academic outcomes, and addressing the underlying issues, such as the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, may be necessary to improve 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.
