New Ventures Charter School

Q: Is New Ventures Charter School a good school?

New Ventures Charter School ranks 813 th of 1228 New York high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

New Ventures Charter School is a public charter high school located in Staten Island, New York, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 155 students. Despite its diverse student population, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of New York high schools and struggling with low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and underperforming test scores.

Compared to nearby high schools like New Dorp High School and Csi High School for International Studies, New Ventures Charter School stands out as an underperforming institution. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 26.8% to 40.3% over the past five years, significantly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate reached an alarming 91.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, more than double the rate of nearby schools. Additionally, the school's Regents exam proficiency rates are generally lower than the state and New York City Geographic District #31 averages.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student ($22,852 in 2022-2023), New Ventures Charter School is not achieving the desired academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges. The combination of low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and underperforming test scores indicates that the school may be facing significant challenges in areas such as student engagement, academic support, and school climate, which could be impacting the overall educational experience and outcomes for its students. The school's performance data for specific student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and special education students, further suggests that these groups are struggling more than their peers at the school and across the state.

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.
