Broome Street Academy Charter High School

Summary:

Broome Street Academy Charter High School is a public charter high school located in New York City, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 270 students. Despite its location in the heart of New York, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of New York high schools, with a statewide ranking between 900-1212 over the past 10 years and a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broome Street Academy's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across various Regents exams. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 13.33% in Algebra I, 49.35% in English Language Arts, and 5.36% in Geometry, compared to the state averages of 31.42%, 78.55%, and 57.44%, respectively. The school has also struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 60.9% to 85.1% over the past few years, compared to the state average of around 84.3%. Additionally, Broome Street Academy has experienced extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.1% to 74.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Broome Street Academy to nearby schools, such as Stuyvesant High School, Harvey Milk High School, and Chelsea Career and Technical Education High School, the performance gap is significant. These nearby schools consistently outperform Broome Street Academy across various academic metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $19,949 to $29,224 per year, and the low student-teacher ratio, Broome Street Academy's academic performance remains a concern, indicating the need for significant interventions and improvements to provide a quality education for its students.

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.
