Family Life Academy Charter School II

Summary:

Family Life Academy Charter School II is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Bronx, New York, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic and African American.

The school consistently outperforms the state and local district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels, with particularly strong performance for African American and Hispanic students. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 72.58%, compared to the state average of 48.79%, and its 4th-grade Math proficiency rate was 66.67%, compared to the state average of 53.85%. However, despite these strong academic results, the school's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 5 stars out of 5 in 2015-2016 to 3 stars out of 5 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its high level of performance or that the state's assessment standards have become more rigorous.

When compared to other nearby charter schools, such as Success Academy Charter School-Bronx 1 and South Bronx Classical Charter School II, Family Life Academy Charter School II performs well but not as strongly, with these nearby charter schools having higher statewide rankings and even stronger academic performance, particularly in Math. Additionally, Family Life Academy Charter School II spends significantly more per student than the nearby traditional public schools, with a per-student spending of $17,949 in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to $22,421 for PS 49 Willis Avenue and $32,262 for PS 154 Jonathan D Hyatt.

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.
