Pharos Academy Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 726 students. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 90% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Pharos Academy Charter School generally outperforms many nearby charter schools, particularly in the upper grades. The school has had significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average on various New York State Assessments and Regents exams, especially in English Language Arts and Math.

While Pharos Academy Charter School's academic performance is strong, the school may need to focus on improving student engagement and support systems to address the higher chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 34.1% to 40.3% over the past few years. The school's spending per student, ranging from $18,407 to $22,307 annually, is higher than some nearby charter schools, suggesting that the school may be allocating resources effectively to support student learning and achievement.

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.
