Summary:
The Urban Dove Team Charter School III, a public charter school serving grades 10-12 in New York, is the sole high school in the Urban Dove Team Charter School III district. With a total enrollment of 209 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-2% of New York high schools over the past three school years, earning a 0-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams well below the state averages across all subject areas. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Algebra I proficiency rate was only 7.69%, compared to the state average of 56.07%. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and dropout rate of 4.5% for the 2023-2024 school year indicate ongoing struggles with student success and retention.
Despite the school's poor performance, it spends a relatively high amount per student, at $32,230 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. This raises questions about the efficient and effective use of resources to support student learning and achievement, particularly given the high percentage (93.3%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with significant economic disadvantage.
