Bronx Community Charter School

Summary:

Bronx Community Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Bronx, New York, with a diverse student population of primarily Hispanic and African American students. While the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, it outperforms the state and district averages in several key areas, particularly for its English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education student subgroups.

Bronx Community Charter School's test scores show strengths in English Language Arts (ELA) and Regents Algebra I, with proficiency rates higher than the state and district averages. The school also performs well for its Hispanic student subgroup, ranking in the top third of New York elementary schools. However, the school's overall performance has been inconsistent, with math proficiency rates lagging behind in the upper grades. The school's high per-student spending of $25,189 and low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 suggest that it has access to significant resources, which could be leveraged to drive further improvements in student outcomes.

When compared to nearby traditional public schools, such as PS 96 Richard Rodgers, Bronx Community Charter School generally outperforms them in test scores, particularly for its ELL and Special Education subgroups. However, the nearby schools also show strong performance in certain areas, indicating that the charter school may not be the only high-performing option in the local area. The school's high percentage of students (83.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that it faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to its overall performance challenges.

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.
