Summary

Bronx Preparatory Charter School is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, New York, with an enrollment of 891 students. The school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom half of New York high schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

While the school performs relatively well for its African American and Hispanic student populations, it struggles with its English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups, ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of schools statewide. The school's 4-year graduation rate has been in the 80-85% range in recent years, below the statewide average, and it has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 55.1% in recent years. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams are mixed, outperforming the state average in some subjects but lagging behind in many others.

Interestingly, the schools in the immediate vicinity of Bronx Preparatory Charter School, such as Explorations Academy High School, Bronx Envision Academy, and Urban Assembly School for Applied Math and Science, generally perform at a similar or lower level. These schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism, low graduation rates, and subpar academic proficiency. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as student engagement, instructional quality, and support services, will be crucial for Bronx Preparatory Charter School to improve and better serve its students.
