Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single high school, Urban Dove Team Charter School II, located in the Bronx, New York. This public charter school serves grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 332 students.
Urban Dove Team Charter School II is facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, student engagement, and socioeconomic factors. The school's proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams were significantly below the state averages across all subject areas, indicating a persistent challenge in academic performance. Additionally, the school had a high dropout rate of 4.5% and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, both of which are higher than the state averages. Despite the relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.7, the school's academic struggles persist, potentially due to the high percentage of students (95.78%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While the school's per-student spending of $35,971 is relatively high, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Urban Dove Team Charter School II will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic barriers to student success, such as improving attendance, providing targeted academic support, and addressing the socioeconomic needs of the student population.
