Summary

Mott Hall Community School is a public middle school in the Bronx, New York, serving 228 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #8, which is ranked 731 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Mott Hall Community School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 29.21% to 32.93%, compared to 36.28% to 42.87% for the district and 50.86% to 52.38% for the state. However, the school's performance on Regents exams, such as Algebra I and Living Environment, is relatively stronger, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $38,126 in the 2023-2024 school year and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance remains below the district and state averages. Nearby schools, such as Junior High School 123 James M Kiernan, Pugsley Preparatory Academy, and Urban Institute of Mathematics, have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as stronger performance on Regents exams. Addressing the challenges at Mott Hall Community School will require a comprehensive and sustained effort from the school, district, and community stakeholders.
