Summary

Bronx Community High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with an enrollment of 137 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.

Bronx Community High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools over the past several years, with rankings ranging from 849 out of 1190 in 2021-2022 to 1153 out of 1210 in 2017-2018. The school's performance is below average across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs. Bronx Community High School has had low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 24.2% in 2023-2024 to 84.3% in 2023-2024, which are significantly lower than the New York state average. Correspondingly, the school has had high dropout rates, ranging from 4.5% in 2023-2024 to 17.1% in 2023-2024, which are well above the state average. Additionally, Bronx Community High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.5% in 2023-2024 to 79.9% in 2023-2024, much higher than the state and district averages.

Bronx Community High School performs significantly worse than the nearby schools in the same district, such as Bronx Arena High School, Millenium Art Academy, and Antonia Pantoja Preparatory Academy, which have higher rankings, graduation rates, and academic performance. The high rates of poverty, as indicated by the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (over 90%), and the high rates of chronic absenteeism may be contributing factors to the school's low performance. Addressing the school's challenges will require a concerted effort and a deep understanding of the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles.
