Legacy College Preparatory Charter School

Summary:

Legacy College Preparatory Charter School is a public charter high school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 722 students. The school is part of the Legacy College Preparatory Charter School District, which is ranked 713 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Legacy College Preparatory Charter School consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance on Regents exams is also concerning, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in subjects like Algebra I, Chemistry, and Geometry. Additionally, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.1% to 39.1% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 87.81% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Mott Haven Village Preparatory High School, Laboratory School Of Finance And Technology, and South Bronx Preparatory, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by Legacy College Preparatory Charter School are not unique and may be indicative of broader systemic issues in the local education system. However, some nearby schools, like Hostos-Lincoln Academy Of Science and University Prep Charter High School, demonstrate relatively stronger academic performance, indicating that high-quality educational opportunities are available in the area, but may not be accessible to all 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.
