Family Life Academy Charter School III

Family Life Academy Charter School III is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Family Life Academy Charter School III district located in the Bronx, New York. With a total enrollment of 198 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its mixed academic performance on state assessments compared to statewide averages.

The school's proficiency rates on the 2024-2025 New York State Assessments ranged from 34.29% to 63.16% in English Language Arts and 35.14% to 66.67% in Math, with some grades performing better than others. In Science, the 5th-grade proficiency rate was 32.43%, well below the statewide average of 45.02%. The school's academic performance has fluctuated over the past few years, suggesting ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent progress.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $22,423 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1, the academic data indicates that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 95.96% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Addressing the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by Family Life Academy Charter School III will likely require a comprehensive approach to support student learning and development.
