The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, and consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,553) compared to nearby public schools, Renaissance Academy Charter School Of The Arts significantly underperforms the state average on New York State Assessments in both English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.67% to 50% across different grade levels and subjects. The school also has a very high percentage of students (87.4%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The racial composition of Renaissance Academy Charter School Of The Arts is significantly different from the nearby public schools, which have a much higher percentage of White students. Additionally, the school's academic performance has remained consistently low over the past several years, with little to no improvement in proficiency rates on state assessments. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and student support services, may be contributing to the school's persistent underperformance, even with its high per-student spending.

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.
