East Bronx Academy For The Future

Summary:

East Bronx Academy For The Future is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 612. The school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates, which are common issues among the schools in the surrounding New York City Geographic District #12.

East Bronx Academy For The Future has a predominantly Hispanic student population (69.61%) and a significant African American population (22.06%). The school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of New York high schools, currently at 1085 out of 1,228, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's four-year graduation rate has improved from 71.0% to 89.1% in recent years, it is still below the state average. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has fluctuated between 4.8% and 10.5%, higher than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate reached a concerning 83.0% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby Urban Assembly Charter School For Computer Science, located just outside the district, has significantly higher test scores and graduation rates than the other schools in the area, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in this region. However, East Bronx Academy For The Future's performance for students in special education and English language learner subgroups is generally better than its overall performance, indicating that targeted interventions and support could potentially lead to improvements for the school as a whole.

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.
