Summary:

American Dream Charter School is the sole public charter school serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, New York. The school is part of the American Dream Charter School District, which is ranked 747 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, American Dream Charter School struggles, with proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams ranging from around 20% to 67% across different subjects and grade levels. The school performs particularly poorly in subjects like Chemistry, Geometry, and Algebra I, where proficiency rates are well below 50%. However, the school does outperform the state average in 8th grade science and on the Global History and Geography Regents exam.

The school's 4-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. These challenges may be linked to the school's high percentage of students (96.38%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and spends $27,184 per student, which is relatively high compared to state averages.
