Summary:
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 231 students, the school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 933 out of 2,434 New York elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,822 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024.
The school's academic performance on state assessments is generally below the statewide average in both English Language Arts and Math across grades 3-5. In 5th grade science, the school's proficiency rate is only 18.6%, compared to the statewide average of 35%. Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,537) than the statewide average, the school's student-teacher ratio of 18.8 is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio of 15-18 students per teacher.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 95.24% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This high concentration of poverty may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the unique needs of this student population and improve overall student outcomes.
