Summary

Belmont Preparatory High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with an enrollment of 365 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #10, which is ranked 708 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Belmont Preparatory High School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of New York high schools, with performance on Regents exams significantly below the district and state averages across most subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had only 12.5% proficiency in Algebra II, compared to 64.06% in the district and 74.88% statewide. The school's graduation rate, at around 84-91%, is also lower than the district and state averages. Despite the school's high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance or ranking over the past 10 years.

Belmont Preparatory High School serves a predominantly disadvantaged student population, with 91.51% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school has a high percentage of minority students, with 72.6% Hispanic and 24.1% African American students. Nearby schools in the same district, such as Theatre Arts Production Company School, Providing Urban Learners Success In Education High School, and Fordham High School for the Arts, also struggle academically, with similar low rankings and performance on Regents exams. However, some schools like Knowledge and Power Prep Academy International High School and Bronx Academy for Software Engineering perform better, suggesting that the school's challenges may be more systemic within the district.
