Despite serving a predominantly low-income student population, with 79.59% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Achievement First-Bushwick Charter School has maintained a high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 81.1% to 85.1% over the past 5 years, and a dropout rate that is generally lower than the state average. The school's higher spending per student, ranging from $19,800 to $20,679, and lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9 to 24.5 students per teacher, suggest a focus on providing ample resources and personalized attention to support student learning, which appears to be paying off in the school's strong academic results.

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.
