Summary:
The schools in zip code 10462 in the Bronx, New York serve a diverse student population across 11 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While some schools in the area, such as Bronx Charter School For Excellence and Icahn Charter School 2, are high-performing with exceptional test scores, other traditional public schools in the district struggle to meet academic standards.
The charter schools in the area, which include Bronx Charter School For Excellence and Bronx Charter School For Excellence 2, consistently outperform their district and state counterparts on state assessments, with 75-100% of students meeting proficiency standards in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, some traditional public schools, such as PS 105 Senator Abraham Bernstein and Linden Tree Elementary School, have much lower proficiency rates, ranging from 13% to 72%.
The data also reveals that the schools in this area serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with most having free or reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 57% to 94%. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the performance disparities observed between the charter and traditional public schools. Additionally, the variation in student-teacher ratios, from 9.5 students per teacher at Bronx High School For The Visual Arts to 24.2 students per teacher at Bronx Charter School for Excellence, may also play a role in the schools' academic outcomes.
