Summary

Bronx Aerospace High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 627 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With just 171 students, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, receiving 0 or 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past decade.

Bronx Aerospace High School struggles across a range of key metrics, including academic achievement, graduation and dropout rates, attendance, and subgroup performance. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked in the bottom 10% of New York high schools for several student subgroups, including female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs. The school's 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 76.6% to 87.5%, are below the state and district averages, and its dropout rates, ranging from 4.5% to 7.7%, are higher than the surrounding area. Additionally, the school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.6% to 37.1% in recent years.

While the nearby New World High School, Bronxwood Preparatory Academy, and Astor Collegiate Academy generally outperform Bronx Aerospace High School, the school's challenges appear to be deeply rooted. Despite a significant increase in spending per student, from $25,045 in 2020-2021 to $44,138 in 2023-2024, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the complex social, economic, and educational factors contributing to its poor performance.

What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, February 26, 2013

The school has nothing to do with Aerospace. The principal lacks people skills. The teachers are great but there is no enforcement in the school. Students tend to do what they like. There is supposedly supposed to be a uniform policy but no one follows it because there is nobody enforcing it on the students. Also there are lack of elective classes and extracurricular activities in the school. Close Quote
