Academy-Scholarship & Entrepreneurship

Summary:

Academy-Scholarship & Entrepreneurship is a public high school in the Bronx, New York, serving 398 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 653 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American (62.81%) and Hispanic (29.15%) students compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse racial compositions. However, Academy-Scholarship & Entrepreneurship has struggled with low performance, with its four-year graduation rate fluctuating between 68.5% and 81.1%, which is lower than schools like High School For Contemporary Arts (89.2%), Bronx Aerospace High School (82.6%), and New World High School (89.0%). The school has also experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 7.0% to 17.1%, and chronic absenteeism rates up to 30.9%, which are significantly higher than nearby schools.

The school's performance on Regents exams is generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 61.11% across different subject areas. Additionally, 85.68% of the students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's relatively high per-student spending ($19,407) suggests that resources alone may not be the primary factor contributing to the school's underperformance, the consistent low performance and challenges faced by the predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population highlight the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes and support the academic and social-emotional needs of the 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.

Open Quote Our business classes are very important to me and I know I would not be receiving education on entrepreneurship, marketing and economics in many other highschools. Teachers are good and you can succeed here and be an honors student when you put your mind to it. Thankfully my experience here overall has been well. Close Quote

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.
