Emblaze Academy Charter School

Summary:

Emblaze Academy Charter School is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Bronx, New York, with a total enrollment of 201 students. This standout school has consistently outperformed the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Science, with exceptional 5th-grade ELA proficiency rates. However, the school has seen a decline in Math performance across multiple grade levels.

Emblaze Academy Charter School spends $28,856 per student, significantly higher than the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18.2 to 1, which may contribute to its academic success. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, but it improved to 715 out of 1,500 middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Emblaze Academy Charter School has shown exceptional performance in certain areas, the school may need to address the decline in Math proficiency rates to ensure continued academic success for all its students. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (99%) suggests it serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact student learning and performance.
