Summary

Bronx High School Of Business is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 302. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 750 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bronx High School Of Business has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in the state. The school struggles across a wide range of metrics, including low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and significantly below-average academic proficiency on Regents exams. These challenges are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the school has relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved outcomes. In comparison, nearby schools like Bronx Collegiate Academy, Dreamyard Preparatory School, and Claremont International High School generally perform better, though they still face many of the same systemic challenges as Bronx High School Of Business. Significant interventions and support may be needed to help the school improve and better serve its students.
