Urban Assembly Charter School For Computer Science

Summary:

Urban Assembly Charter School For Computer Science is a public charter high school serving 443 students in grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York. The school is part of the Urban Assembly Charter School For Computer Science District, which is ranked 549 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school consistently outperforms the state average in several Regents exam subjects, including Algebra II, Physics, and Global History and Geography, particularly for African American and Hispanic students. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts and U.S. History and Government is below the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate has been relatively stable, but the dropout rate has fluctuated and is higher than the state's average. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While the school excels in STEM-related subjects, it serves a high-need population, with 85.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students has declined, from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 2-star rating in 2023-2024. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing additional support for low-socioeconomic status students should be priorities for the school and district to ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.

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.
