Summary

Bronx Legacy High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 280. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #7, which is ranked 777 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bronx Legacy High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of high schools in New York, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate has been around 84.3%, lower than the state average, and it has experienced high dropout rates ranging from 4.5% to 11.4% in recent years. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue, with rates ranging from 31.5% to 61.1%. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is particularly low for subgroups like Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 20-30% of their respective groups statewide. Despite a significant increase in per-student spending, from $17,833 in 2021-2022 to $29,449 in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as Community School For Social Justice, Health Opportunities High School, and Urban Assembly Bronx Academy Of Letters, also perform poorly, with rankings in the bottom 15-20% of New York high schools. This suggests a systemic issue within the district that affects the academic outcomes of schools in the area. However, some schools in a different district, such as Bronx Early College Academy For Teaching And Learning and Bronx School For Law Government And Justice, have higher rankings and better academic outcomes, indicating that the challenges faced by Bronx Legacy High School and its surrounding schools may be specific to the New York City Geographic District #7.
