Summary:
Equality Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades K-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a total enrollment of 631 students. The school is ranked 646 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Equality Charter School has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.5% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates on New York State Assessments and Regents exams are generally lower than the statewide averages, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Geometry, and Earth Science. However, the school performs better than the state average in some areas, such as 8th grade ELA, 7th grade Math, and Regents exams in Living Environment and Algebra I. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% for the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $26,607 and smaller class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 8.8, the school's academic outcomes are not consistently strong. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum, instructional practices, and addressing the root causes of high absenteeism to ensure more consistent academic achievement across all subject areas and better prepare its students for success.
