Summary

South Bronx Preparatory - A College Board School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, New York, with 614 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.7. This school consistently outperforms its New York City Geographic District #7, which is ranked 777 out of 874 districts in the state, and the state of New York on standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels.

South Bronx Preparatory stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly for specific student subgroups.

Additionally, the school has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate (around 84%) and a low dropout rate (around 4-5%) in recent years, outperforming the district averages.
