Summary

Mott Hall V is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a total enrollment of 654 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #12, which is ranked 760 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mott Hall V has consistently underperformed compared to the New York state average and the district average on standardized tests and Regents exams. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 67.1% to 89.8% in recent years, lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has been higher, ranging from 2.0% to 10.7%. Mott Hall V also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.5% to 58.7%, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's performance has been particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby Urban Assembly Charter School for Computer Science, which is not part of the New York City Geographic District #12, has significantly outperformed Mott Hall V and the other nearby public schools on various academic metrics, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state averages. The high rates of poverty, English Language Learners, and special education students at Mott Hall V and the surrounding schools may be contributing factors to their overall academic underperformance, along with the district's low ranking and limited resources.
