Boys Preparatory Charter School Of New York

Summary:

Boys Preparatory Charter School Of New York is a public charter school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 713 students from pre-kindergarten to 10th grade, primarily from low-income backgrounds.

The school stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the New York state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments across most grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 62.75% of 3rd graders at Boys Preparatory Charter School Of New York were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 42.6%. In Math, 78.43% of 3rd graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.93%. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd and 8th grade ELA, as well as 3rd grade Math. This academic success may be attributed to the school's higher spending per student, which has increased from $15,136 in 2020-2021 to $22,228 in 2022-2023, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 18.2 during the same period.

When compared to other nearby charter schools, such as Brilla College Preparatory Charter School and KIPP Bronx Charter School III, Boys Preparatory Charter School Of New York generally outperforms them in ELA and Math assessments. However, the school, along with its nearby peers, faces a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.1% to 34.1% in the 2022-2023 school year. This high chronic absenteeism rate may impact student learning and academic performance, and warrants further investigation and intervention.

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.
