Summary

Bronx Design And Construction Academy is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with an enrollment of 223 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #7, which is ranked 777 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bronx Design And Construction Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking. The school's performance on Regents/Common Core exams is significantly below the New York City District #7 and New York state averages across most subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 15.38% in Algebra II, 50.5% in English Language Arts, and 1.72% in Geometry, compared to the district and state averages. The school's graduation rate has fluctuated between 69.2% and 84.3% over the past few years, which is lower than the district and state averages. Bronx Design And Construction Academy also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (31.5% to 61.1%) compared to the district and state.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as Alfred E. Smith Career And Technical Education High School, generally perform better than Bronx Design And Construction Academy on academic metrics. However, these nearby schools also serve a high percentage of students from low-income families and have similar demographic profiles. Interestingly, Bronx Design And Construction Academy has a relatively high per-student spending of $46,785, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the district, suggesting that the school may be receiving additional funding or resources, but the academic performance does not reflect the higher spending.
