Summary:

KIPP Bronx Charter School III is a public charter school serving students from kindergarten to 9th grade in the Bronx, New York, with a diverse student population. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in Math and Regents exams, despite serving a predominantly low-income community.

KIPP Bronx Charter School III outperforms the state average in several grade-level assessments, with 63.22% proficiency in 3rd grade Math compared to the state's 53.68%. The school also boasts high proficiency rates in Regents exams, such as 73.16% in Algebra I, 100% in Geometry, 74.36% in Global History and Geography, and 77.12% in Living Environment. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.0%, which is higher than the state average and some nearby charter schools like Harlem Village Academy West Charter School (15.0%) and KIPP Academy Charter School (19.3%).

The high percentage of students (94.04%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at KIPP Bronx Charter School III suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which may contribute to the higher chronic absenteeism rate. Despite these socioeconomic challenges, the school's academic performance, particularly in Math and Regents exams, is commendable and indicates the school's ability to effectively support its students. The low student-teacher ratio of 5.9 at KIPP Bronx Charter School III suggests a more personalized and targeted instructional approach, which may be a key factor in the school's success.

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.
