Bronx Preparatory Charter School

Bronx Preparatory Charter School is the sole school in the Bronx Preparatory Charter School District, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 891 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain Regents exams, it also faces challenges in other areas like chronic absenteeism and test scores on state assessments.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher than the state average. Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with a rate of 31.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance is mixed, with some areas of strength and others where it underperforms the state average.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $18,228, the school's academic performance is still below the state average in many areas, indicating that funding alone may not be the sole factor in determining student success. The school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 85.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Targeted interventions and strategies to address chronic absenteeism, improve test scores, and support the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population may be necessary to improve the school's overall performance and outcomes.
