Summary:
Amani Public Charter School is the sole middle school located in Mount Vernon, New York, serving students in grades 5-8. While the school has some areas of academic strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in 8th grade English Language Arts and Algebra I, it has struggled in several other subject areas compared to the state average.
Over the past three years, Amani Public Charter School's statewide ranking has declined from 472nd out of 1,500 middle schools to 847th out of 1,500, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars out of 5. This suggests the school is not keeping pace with other middle schools in New York. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 61.81% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
Despite these challenges, Amani Public Charter School has some areas of strength, such as its higher-than-average proficiency rates in 8th grade ELA and Algebra I. However, the school's below-average performance in several other subject areas and grade levels indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to address these areas of weakness and improve overall academic outcomes.
