Despite its relatively high per-student spending of $35,696, which is significantly above the New York City district average, East Bronx Academy For The Future has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with rankings ranging from 978 to 1202 out of over 1200 schools.

The school also faces challenges with high dropout rates, ranging from 4.5% to 11.2% in recent years, and high chronic absenteeism, with 31.5% to 58.7% of students chronically absent. East Bronx Academy For The Future is located in close proximity to several other low-performing schools, including High School Of World Cultures, Metropolitan Soundview High School, Pan American International High School At Monroe, and Explorations Academy High School, all of which also have low statewide rankings, high dropout rates, and poor academic outcomes.
