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 612 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #12, which is ranked 771 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Bronx Academy For The Future faces significant challenges, with consistently low statewide rankings, ranging from 978 to 1200 out of around 1,200-1,250 high schools over the past decade. The school's performance for various student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is also quite low compared to state averages. Its 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 69.9% to 89.1%, which is below the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 4.8% to 11.4%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.1% to 83.0% in recent years, far exceeding the state and district averages.

The challenges facing East Bronx Academy For The Future appear to be reflective of the broader challenges facing this geographic area of the Bronx, as the other high schools in the immediate vicinity, such as High School Of World Cultures, Metropolitan Soundview High School, and Explorations Academy High School, also have very low statewide rankings and academic performance that is generally below state averages. Despite the low performance, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $19,089 to $25,003 per year, indicating that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the school's struggles.

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.
