Q: Is Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School a good school?

Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School ranks 1706 th of 2439 New York elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School is an elementary school in the Bronx, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (73.05%) and African American (19.14%) students, and a high percentage (87.87%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School performs relatively well in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking 114 out of 1,001 New York elementary schools in this area, its overall academic performance is mixed. The school's 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate (51.52%) is higher than the state average (48.79%), but its 3rd-grade English Language Arts (35.53%) and 3rd-grade and 4th-grade Math (29.87% and 35.82%, respectively) proficiency rates are lower than the state averages. Compared to nearby public schools, Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School generally outperforms them in test scores, particularly in 4th-grade English Language Arts. However, the school's overall statewide ranking (1,706 out of 2,439 elementary schools) and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that it is still performing below average compared to other schools in New York.

The school's diverse racial composition, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students than nearby public schools, could provide unique learning opportunities and cultural experiences for the students. However, this diversity may also present challenges in meeting the diverse needs of the student population. Additionally, Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,963 to $20,897 over the past few years, which could indicate a focus on providing resources and support for the students, but it is unclear how effectively these funds are being utilized to improve academic outcomes.

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.
