Summary:
Bronx Preparatory Charter School is the only high school in the data set, serving students in grades 5-12 in the Bronx, New York. While the school has some areas of strong academic performance, it also faces significant challenges related to chronic absenteeism and inconsistent test scores across subjects and grade levels.
Bronx Preparatory Charter School has a four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is slightly below the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.5%, which is higher than the state average. The school's test scores are mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels performing above the state average, while others lag behind. Notably, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which is significantly above the state average and can negatively impact student achievement.
Despite spending $18,228 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a student-teacher ratio of 16.2, which is slightly higher than the state average, Bronx Preparatory Charter School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 85.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high-need student population may contribute to the school's challenges in providing a consistently high-quality education across all subject areas and grade levels.
