Summary

Renaissance High School For Musical Theater And The Arts is a public high school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 420 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #8, which is ranked 731 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has shown a mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 599 to 951 out of 1,234 New York high schools. While the school's performance on Regents/Common Core exams is generally higher than the district and state averages in subjects like English Language Arts, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government, it struggles in subjects like Living Environment, Physics, and Geometry. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 69.1% to 87.2%, which is generally lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has also been higher than the state average, ranging from 2.7% to 10.8%.

Compared to nearby schools like Gotham Collaborative High School, Millenium Art Academy, and Bronx River High School, Renaissance High School appears to be a relatively stronger performing school in the local area. This may be due to the school's specialized focus on musical theater and the arts, which could contribute to its relatively stronger performance in subjects like English Language Arts and Global History and Geography. However, the school faces challenges in areas such as graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism, which may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
