Summary

Bronxwood Preparatory Academy (The) is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with 394 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 627 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bronxwood Preparatory Academy (The) consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York high schools, with significantly below-average performance on Regents/Common Core exams across all subject areas. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 76.6% to 91.0% over the past 3 years, below the district and state averages, and its dropout rate has been between 2.2% and 7.7%, higher than the district and state. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.9% to 37.1% over the past 3 years, significantly above the district and state averages.

The challenges facing Bronxwood Preparatory Academy (The) are not unique, as the other high schools in the immediate vicinity, such as High School For Contemporary Arts, Bronx Aerospace High School, and Bronx Lab School, also perform poorly on academic metrics and have similar demographic profiles. Despite the low academic performance, Bronxwood Preparatory Academy (The) has a relatively high per-student spending level, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need for more targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
