Summary:
South Bronx Community Charter High School is the only public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the data set, with a total enrollment of 380 students. The school is located in the Bronx, New York and faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
The school's performance on state assessments has been consistently low, with proficiency rates well below the statewide averages in most subject areas. For example, the school's Algebra I proficiency rate was 17.27% compared to the state average of 56.07%, and its English Language Arts proficiency rate was 41.76% compared to the state average of 75.29%. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate was 84.3%, and its dropout rate was 4.5%, both of which are areas of concern.
Further, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with 90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate likely contributes to the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $29,774, these challenges have resulted in a declining statewide ranking, from 1029 out of 1242 high schools in 2023-2024 to 1125 out of 1234 high schools in 2024-2025.
