Summary

Bronx Center For Science And Mathematics is a public magnet high school serving 383 students in grades 9-12 in the New York City Geographic District #9. The school consistently outperforms district and state averages on Regents exams, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher. This strong academic performance is particularly notable for African American and Special Education students, who rank in the top quartile of New York high schools in these subgroups.

The school has a 4-year graduation rate around 84%, on par with district and state averages, and a dropout rate of 4-7%, lower than the surrounding area. However, Bronx Center For Science And Mathematics has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population. The school spends around $30,000 per student, significantly more than the district and state averages, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11-12 students per teacher.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Eximius College Preparatory Academy, Frederick Douglass Academy III Secondary School, and Mott Hall Bronx High School, Bronx Center For Science And Mathematics outperforms them on most academic metrics, despite serving a similar demographic and socioeconomic profile. Additionally, the school ranks in the top 5% of New York high schools for its performance with homeless students, indicating effective support for this vulnerable population. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.5% to 58.4%, is an area that may require further attention and intervention.
