Summary

Mott Hall III is a public middle school in the Bronx, New York, serving 309 students in grades 6-8. Despite being part of the lower-performing New York City Geographic District #9, Mott Hall III consistently outperforms the district and the state of New York in academic proficiency across subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

The school's strong performance is particularly notable among African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the top 25% of New York middle schools. This is impressive given that Mott Hall III serves a high-needs population, with 91% to 96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending has also increased significantly in recent years, from $14,220 in 2020-2021 to $30,019 in 2023-2024, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

Compared to nearby schools like Bronx Writing Academy and IS 339, Mott Hall III consistently outperforms its peers in academic proficiency. However, the school faces challenges in supporting its English Language Learner and Special Education student populations, which rank in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools. Overall, Mott Hall III's consistent academic growth and success in serving its diverse student body make it a potential model for other schools in the region.
